Re: [PLUG] Solaris 8 or Linux on Sparc?
|
Really - we just want single authentication across these sun machines
(possibly across all the unix/linux machines). How esle to do this with
linux/unix? There is an Active Directory - which thought about trying to
connect with. Bringing in another directory would be cumbersome. Any
have experience with an alternative?
It was my understanding that NIS+ was encrypted - these machines wil be
in the DMZ. Upn some brief reading - this may not be the case?
Appreciate all the feedback.
