Our site makes extensive use of NIS to manage passwd, group and hosts files
on our ~20 workstations/servers.
This has proven simple and efficient.
I would like to be able to restrict which hosts someone with a NIS account
can access.
ie I want to restrict Joe Blow who has legitimate access to
tiny-gis-workstation, from being able to access big-sap-production-box. At
the moment they can simply login to any host on the network, regardless of
whether they have a home directory on that host or not, and stroll around.
I'd prefer not to move to C2 security.
