Pedro,
> Is there any idea/interest to include NIS+ stuff into mandrake?
Well, when you read about NIS+ at
http://www.securityportal.com/lasg/servers/authentication/index.html#NIS
They're not very positive about the security of NIS+. It seems to be
quite weak. And NIS+ is difficult to setup. I myself have no experience
with NIS+ (only "normal" NIS), so I can't say anything usefull about it,
although I'd like to learn more about it. So from my educational point
of view: if you have the time, yes, please.
I'd also like to see kerberos in Mandrake. Redhat seems to have it
(since 6.2?) and M$ seems to be doing "something" with it too ;-) (don't
flame me on this). And I'd like to see encrypted network filesystem in
mandrake, like CODA (if it's already in Mandrake then correct me if I'm
wrong --> I didn't check).
Just my $0.02.
Stefan
PS: At the moment NIS isn't working in Mandrake, the current initscripts
package fails to set the "domainname", so ypbind can't bind to that
domain and find a NIS servers.
