I'm trying to find a relevant document, but only get NIS and not NIS+
while searching i found this link http://www.linux-nis.org/nisplus/
here it says
"There is no NIS+ server for Linux and it doesn't look like that there will ever be one." but its date is quite old
Can anyone let me know and if possible give me a link for the config setup.
I have heard of someone running a minimum install Solaris virtualised on a Linux XEN box but I can't quite see the point. For the overhead you might as well just use Solaris itself.....
Yah. But on a corporate LAN (switched environment) that shouldn't
be too much of a risk, unless you have untrusted network admins
or people with root privileges on the server who you don't trust.
How big is the risk of passing the data on the LAN for you?
Of course, encryption *IS* the preferred option, and LDAPS would
cover that nicely.
