Hi, I've read about every yp related man page and still don't have a clue why ypmatch is always returning a * for the encrypted password, even for root. I'm running 1.4.2. Does anyone have any words of wisdom for me? Thanks. -- Phil Nelson NetBSD: http://www.netbsd.org e-mail: phil@cs.wwu.edu Coda: http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu http://cs.wwu.edu/faculty/nelson
