My servers went from Debian 1.1 to 1.2 to 1.3 using ftp to upgrade. The
last time I used the installations diskettes was when I installed 1.1.
During this process I don't recall having been asked for any shadow
options at all. Can you tell me what package is suppose to ask something
about shadow passwords? Even more, can someone explain how shadow
passwords relate to the NIS stuff? Probably here is where I have my
problems.
