Greetings! I tried to post this question to openldap group but somehow my post never showed up there.
Anyway, I built PDC using Samba3 and OPENLDAP and now like to integrade NIS service to it. I searched the net there are quite a few guides on how to replace NIS with LDAP. However, in our environment, we have almost all sorts of Unix platforms, e.g. Linux (mainly Redhat), Solaris, HPUX, AIX, IRIS, and plus some pretty old OS versions. They are all NIS clients now but I don't expect they can all be easily converted to to be authenticated against LDAP. For instance, I don't think all of them have pam and nss ready. I thought it would be easier if I can somehow build the NIS Server using LDAP and maintain all NIS slaves and clients as they are, I would have an easy mirgration path while achieving the goal of centralizing authentication/administration of the enterprise-wide accounts on LDAP server. Any comments, suggestions, guidances are deeply appreciated.
