Linux alternative to NIS?

Linux alternative to NIS?

Post by Mike Fris » Sat, 07 Sep 1996 04:00:00



        I am curious to know if there is an alternative to NIS which
will give me the same abilities between several Linux machines?  
Essentially, I want to be able to map user IDs/passwords for use with
NFS and network logins.  I have been advised of a small daemon made just
for this (who's name escapes me right now), but was unable to find
source for it.

        Failing that, is the NIS client/server stuff working well
enough to do this without trouble?

Thanks.

Mike.
