Hi -

Does anyone know how to change an existing NIS server from using DES-style
passwords to MD5 passwords? Is it possible to continue running with both
types of passwords, asking users to upgrade as they are ready?

I've tried running

authconfig --enablemd5

on the server and client, but this didn't seem to help very much.
