Hi all,

I stumbled across this yesterday:

• Windows Services For UNIX

Windows Services for UNIX (SFU) 3.5 provides the tools and environment that IT professionals and developers need to integrate Windows with UNIX and Linux environments.

Synchronizing passwords with an NIS domain

Using Password Synchronization, you can provide one-way (Windows-to-UNIX) and two-way password synchronization between Windows domains and Network Information Service (NIS) domains. You can do this regardless of whether the master server of the NIS domain is running on UNIX or on Windows (Server for NIS).


Has anyone tried this little gem from the folks in Seattle? In our situation, the password syncing would be one way, from the Windows domain controller to the Solaris NIS master server. The linux boxes are all NIS clients of the Solaris NIS master.

Thanks much!!
