If you have a Windows 2000/3 server, you could download Services For Unix from MS and have AD serve as the NIS server for your Linux boxes. It works fairly well. I have 10 Linux boxes at work using it. Of course, if you're asking on this list, you probably don't have (or want) a MS server. In which case, I believe Maarten is correct, there isn't a NIS client for Windows. Besides for white papers and rumors, the only other login client I know of for Windows is Novell's NDS client. Good luck! Ken On Wed, 2006-07-05 at 11:55 +0100, Catherine wrote:
Hi
I'm trying to set up a network to run NIS across a variety of machines (SuSE 10.1, Mandriva 10, Windows XP Pro) and I was wondering this was possible; a search didn't bring me a lot of results . Has anyone had any experience of setting this up, and were there any specific issues I should be aware of?
