I have about 5 machines at home, networked together. Usually, about three of them are in use at any given time. To save updating various bits of info when I make a change that would affect them all (adding or renaming a host, changing a user password etc.) would it be a good idea to use NIS/YP or some such service? This way, I would only have to make a change on the server and have it reflected on the various hosts. What would be an alternative to NIS in this situation? LDAP? anything else? cheers, Rob Please cc me as I'm not on the list -- Evolution doesn't take prisoners.
