Dear admin, Thanks to Charles Gagnon. <<< Questions: >>> We want to integrate linux on our existing Solaris environment. However, nisplus (client) is not supported on redhat 7.2/7.3. Then, we will reinstall our NIS+ server to turn on compatibility mode. My question is, a) Any disadvantage using NIS+ with compatibility mode b) On Security point of view, NIS+ with compatilbiliy mode Vs Pure NIS, which better ? c) How to enhance security on NIS+ on compatibility mode d) Any other tips/alternative/recommendation Is there any good resources for setup heterogeneous unix environment (Solaris and Redhat linux), such as maillist, web sites, ... recommend ... <<<From Charles :>>> a) You lose a lot of the security features of NIS+ since anyone can bind using a NIS client. b) Pretty much similar. It basically bring down the security of NIS+ down to NIS level. Thanks, K.W. _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Mon Aug 5 02:14:53 2002
