Hello all, I'm relatively new to postgres, and I've run into a snag...we are setting up a new db server, but it is not the NIS domain master for our domain. However, I'd like to be able to authenticate ODBC users (and others) using their regular passwords, and having postgres check against NIS rather than needing an actual /etc/passwd, or $PGDATA/passwd file. For now I've been able to ypcat a copy of the password file into $PGDATA/passwd, but I really don't like this solution. Is there something I forgot to do when building postgres? FWIW, I don't believe I can use the "crypt" option, because the ODBC client (Insight Distribution Systems) doesn't appear to support encryption.
