Yes, they are both using shadow passwords.  I am tempted to just let this

hang for two weeks until I get to the NIS machine and then do it from

scratch.  If I just follow basic “muscle memory” on this I am a hoping

that if I "dance with you brung you” this may work?  Is a SL to SL NIS

implementation giving anyone else misery?  (That and the HTTPD server is

the only thing I have left to fix).
