Hello,
We are trying to use DECUNIX C2 under NIS. We have both SUN Solaris and
Alpha DECUNIX NIS clients. What we want is to have a NIS centralized
password database with more controls: password expiration, account
lifetime control, etc.
It seems that some commercial products allow what we want: UniShield (NIT)
BoKS (DynaSoft). I don't have the prices of this products and I am
waiting for the replies to the mails I sent to NIT and DynaSoft.
Is there other products free or under license ? Where can we get them ?
Our configuration is the following:
NIS Master: AS2100/DECUNIX 4.0B
NIS Slaves: AS2000/DECUNIX 4.0B
SparcServer1000E/Solaris 2.5
NFS servers: AS2100 and AS2000 which are TCR1.4 cluster members.
Under C2, the prpasswd file allows better control on user's accounts:
expiration, password length control, password trivial checking, etc.
Solaris have the same capability but the file used is /etc/shadow and
The Solaris shadow file is not shared by NIS.
Does any one have an experience in sharing a 'rich password' file (as
DECUNIX prpasswd or Solaris shadow) between Solaris and DECUNIX NIS
clients.
Thanks in advance.
Christophe.
