MD5 passwords and NIS

[Dave Sherohman <esper@sherohman.org>]

The debian installer warns about possible compatibility problems using MD5
passwords in conjuction with NIS.  Does NIS itself have difficulty dealing
with MD5 or is this warning just a reference to the possibility that some NIS
clients using the passwd map may not be set up to recognize MD5 passwords?
