hi!
I want to use a service like nis in my linux-network but I think this is not really secure... (or is it?) Is there a way to use nis+ or something like this with x86-linux-server and linux-clients (I heard there is only a sever-version for sun...) ?
yes, nis+ as server is for solaris only. If you have a working sun nis+ server, it's easy to have linux nis+ clients, see 1.
