You know the one thing I've never found? An easy-to-use cookbook for migrating from an NIS environment over to LDAP. This has been something that's been recommended forever, but there's no easy migration path. Every LDAP document I've seen (especially from Sun, but from O'Reilly too) has assumed that you're going to use LDAP for your enterprise directory service (storing peoples phone numbers and everything) not for something as simple as just Unix authentication. It really should be easier to go from a redundant NIS environment (multiple servers) over to a similarly replicating LDAP system. Even without adding the complexity of Kerberos into the mix. --Joe _______________________________________________ sysadmin-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/sysadmin-discuss
