Hello,
I am getting ready to build a mixed environment of Suns and Dec unix. I
would like to verify what I have found out to date.
1. We cannot run C2 security with NIS in a mixed NIS environment
2. We cannot run Sun shadow password in a mixed NIS environment
3. We can run in a unsecured mode in either environment.
4. Dec unix will not talk to NIS+ directly on a SUN, you must run it in
compabiltity mode.
5. There are no third party or DEC products to solve this issue, of running
a mixed unix environment and attempting to secure it, using NIS or NIS+
6. The only product that will work is DCE which in a small environment of a
few dozen systems is overkill.
Just for the record, I am attempting to find a easy way to have several
suns and DEC systems, share usernames, uids, etc,. in a secure environment.
How has others solved this problem?
