Hi, there!

I posted a similar question a while ago, but did not receive any reply.
I still have had no access to my network (since it is not in function
state right now).  I therefore had no time to expiriment on this.

My question was if I could use the NIS maps, and esp. the yppasswd map,
I already use on my Sun workstations with FreeBSD.  My guess is that
that the encrypted passwords are incompatible, though I do not know this
for sure.

Can anybody help me out with this?
