Hi, I'm using NIS since 20+ years in a small network with about 60 computers. Since I manage all computers and the physical network can be seen as secure (I know it's not perfect secure) I do not need the additional crypto features of NIS+ or LDAP, which would be overkill. All my users use yppasswd on the NIS master for changing their password. I guess I still need pam support for this because I set things like this in pam.d/common-password:
password requisite pam_cracklib.so retry=3 difok=3 minlen=14 Yes, I surely would miss the NIS support. -- regards Thomas
