I have just installed Fedora. I have configured NIS server/client ok. However, when I type command 'ypcat passwd', I can see the encrypted password in the output, which is no good and is not what I want. I would like to have no encrypted password showing up when I type command 'ypcat passwd'. Then I changed the /etc/nsswitch.conf file with passwd: compat shadow: compat and modified /etc/ypserv.conf file as following: # The following, when uncommented, will give you shadow like passwords. # Note that it will not work if you have slave NIS servers in your # network that do not run the same server as you. # Host : Domain : Map : Security # * : * : passwd.byname : port * : * : passwd.byuid : port I restarted ypserv and ypbind. However, the ypcat command still shows the shadow password. I am using ypserv-2.8.3 and glibc-2.3.2-101. Do I miss anything? Please help if you know the answer. -Qi
