Is there something that you need to "turn on" for Irix? We're running 6.5.13 and I have yet to see any sort of shadow mechanism. Ok, a quick 'man shadow' just answered my question... pwconv will generate a shadow file from /etc/passwd. Can Irix use a shadow NIS map, though? That's something worth testing... That would allow easy Linux/Irix NIS integration.... The possibilities! :) Gabe -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gabe Turner gabe at msi.umn.edu SGI Origin Systems Administrator, University of Minnesota Supercomputing Institute for Digital Simulation and Advanced Computation www.msi.umn.edu ------------------------------------------------------------------------
