Hello Managers:

I have an NIS server with clients A and B. I want to disable
logins to the server, including ftp except for a few accounts.
Furthermore, I want to disable logins to client A except for a
few accounts, but I want to allow all users to ftp to client A.
Finally client B should be open to all users.

creating /etc/nologin disables logins for everyone,
putting /bin/false as the login shells prevents users to
login to client B.

How do I resolve this? I am running NFS/NIS without Enhanced security.

Thanks in advance for your help,
