Hello all. I just installed 8.2 and LOVE it!!!
I got the notion to use NIS to make logins thru my network easier. I set a NIS server on 192.168.1.2 via Yast2. It seems to run ok. I then make one of the workstations use the NIS Client. Also via Yast2. I get a mesage that it is up and running, but how can i check that it REALLY uses the NIS system? Also; how do i add users to the domain? Is there a gui for that? Or do i have to hack several files manually (again)
I want the network to have a centralized login server, so all my UID/GID are the same no matter what station i log in from.
Is NIS the right way, or shall i use Kerberos, LDAP or what??
To add a user all we do is create a user on the server and restart NIS. Yast does all that under its gui. BTW, are you using autofs or nfs'ing it all to your clients? Would love to hear that NIS was finally going under yast with the automounter. Steve.
