Hello managers,
I posted a message last week, but since i didn't received any responses (i
think maybe the message was a little short), here it goes again:

I have been using NIS with base security for a while, but i want to switch
now to C2. Since i have no experience with C2, and all the machines here
run DU4.0A, it seems i have two alternatives:
1)Share the TCB files from my ex-nis server once i have already turned on
C2 or,
2)Run C2 and NIS, with the /var/yp/src/prpasswd database.

I really don't know which of this two alternatives seems to be the best,
in terms of security and machine load, so i would appreciate if someone
could _please_ help me with some comments.
I would also like to khow if there is any digital product which can make
the sharing of the TCB files more secure, similar to solaris secureNFS.

TIA,
