Hello,
I have a NIS server set up and working perfectly on my network, but my solaris
machine is using old-style passwords (maximum 8 chars). My NIS server (being
debian linux) is using MD5 passwds (out of choice), so i'd like to enable this
on Solaris 9, so it can successfully use NIS for authentication on my LAN.
I originally had Solaris 8 on this machine, and i was told that MD5 passwords
didn't exist, so i put Solaris 9 on instead. I think Solaris 10 uses MD5 by
default, but in Solaris 9 it needs enabling, whereas in Solaris 8 it wasn't even
an option.
Does anyone know how i can enable it?
Thanks,
Richard.
