Here is my situation:
We have a DEC Alpha and a Sun SPARC and we would like user account
information stored and maintained on the DEC and shell accounts to be
permitted on the SPARC through verification by NIS from the DEC.
What I need:
Is to have the DEC master NIS server NOT allow logins for entries in the
NIS passwd file. I could do a make on the NIS server and change the
/etc/passwd file to something else (like /etc/passwd.nis) for NIS
accounts. Here is the question:
1. The adduser script says "NIS detected, refer to network configuration
guide for how to add users". Alas the net config guide does no thave
any idea. How do I take all the precautions necessary to
add/modify/delete accounts in the password file that NIS is to use?
What if I have C2 security enabled?
2. I would also be running sendmail on the dec so I would need to server
to be a client of NIS too (ie +:*: at the end of password).
Therefore, how do I prevent users with accounts from logging into the
server because they are only supposed to log onto the SPARC? Keep in
mind I want the user to be able to change their shell so a shell wrapper
to do some secondary authentication wouldn't be too helpful.
Any other tips, hints, or utilities for accomplishing this would be greatly
appreciated!
- Thanks in advance!
