Hello managers
I'm running OSF1 V3.2 214 in a DEC 3000/600 with 64MB ram, 5GB disk,
CD-ROM, DAT. I need to set up a network server to run the following tasks:
o Internet mail
o Web server
o Anonymous FTP server
o News server (just few groups, no alt.sex.* <8^)
o Local network home directory share (about 20 client machines
running Linux)
o Export a /usr directory to the linux boxes (to save disk space
and easy net installation of software)
o Export home directories plus applications to Dos/Windows/Win95
clients (the same 20 PCs not running a true operating system :-)
using the Samba server.
I have some questions about this:
What are the safety risks of run NIS to share the passwords across the
local net? Is DU's NIS able to do access control like the Linux version
does bi means of /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny?
Is there any advantage of using C2 security side by side with NIS?
Is the machine configuration enough to the job?
All your opinions will be wellcome.
Thanks
