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?? I'd go for ldap....good to know and works with other platforms, applications, databases....you get the picture.
