I am seeking any ideas or opinions on this subject. I am =
implementing NIS for use in a LAN to enable shared passwords with =
serveral servers. The only problem I've ran into with NIS is that my =
FTPd, POP, and radius daemons all require an independant password file. =
The only way I can find to have different password files for the servers =
but still keep them managed from a single location is to hack the =
daemons so that they read the passwords from a NFS mount. If I'm going =
to do this I may very well have to toss NIS out the window and just =
place the pwd.dbs on a NFS mount point available to all of my machines. =
