I had a question I would like to ask. Can RHEL/centos 4.8 clients connect to RHEL/centos 6.2 Server via NIS? I would need to mount storage on the server to the clients. please advise me, thank you.
it doesn't make sense for them to not be able to. NIS / NIS+ is a standard protocol, a NIS client has to be able to talk to a NIS server, regardless of the versions of operating system they are running. NIS is pretty ancient now though, not used much any more, and not all that good... note that NIS has nothing to do with storage at all.
