Title: [Oscar-users] Oscar 4.1 and NIS

Hi Nathan:

 

I don't think you need to do anything special to use NIS with an OSCAR cluster - just make sure that you change the authentication method for your compute nodes/head node to NIS and set up the corresponding configuration files and that should be good.

 

OPIUM/sync_files will still try to update your local password files, but that should not be a problem.

 

Cheers,

 

Bernard

Subject: [Oscar-users] Oscar 4.1 and NIS

Hello:

I am running a 9-node cluster (1 head - 8 homogeneous compute nodes),
with Fedora Core 2 (x86) installed on all nodes.

I would like to use the head node as a NIS server for clients that are
not part of the cluster.

What reading I have done suggests that running NIS side-by-side with
OSCAR takes some meddling, but can it be done with the NIS-clients not
being a part of the cluster?

If it can be done, what steps do I have to take to make NIS work with OSCAR?

Thanks in advance,

Nathan Gilbert
