Hi guys, sorry about this late summary.

My original question was:

> 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.

Thanks a lot to Jim Belonis <belonis_at_dirac.phys.washington.edu> who send
me a document with some info about NIS running with C2 (if there is
someone interested in this document, just email me).

The decision we made was to share the tcb database with all the machines,
since it was what the document recommended.
