Hi,
I did some NIS migration tests recently.
The target is to migrate the NIS server from Solaris 8 to Redhat Linux 6.5.
And, I found there are encryption issues while Linux NIS using MD5 hashing password for authentication whereas Solaris 8 clients using DES encryption.
It causes issues that I can't log in Solaris 8 clients for NIS user authentication.
I know Solaris 8 doesn't support MD5 encryption, and there are ways to downgrade Linux NIS encryption to DES to support Solaris 8 connection, but that's not the way I like.
Is there any way to make Solaris 8 support MD5 encryption?
I search some articles online refering to the possiblity to implement it, but no details about how to do.
Thanks.
