Managers,
I have searched the archives about this topic. But securenets seems to be
never touched.
I am having trouble configuring restricted access of NIS to the local
network. The man page of ypserv recoments the existence of
/etc/yp/securenets to restrict access to the ypserv daemon.
Further it says the correct syntax of /etc/yp/securenets is:
netmask ip
example:
255.255.255.0 123.156.121.0
So I edited /etc/yp/securenets to the above. Shoot me or not, it didn't work.
Even after
/sbin/init.d/nis stop
/sbin/init.d/nis start
When using the above example (with the right IP) no login was possible.
The output of telnet to a NIS-Client stops before the "login:" should
appear. I also tried the following syntaxs:
123.123.241.123/32
124.123.412.0/24
What is the right syntax? Does anybody use the file /etc/yp/securenets?
How is it set up?
Bye.
