use NIS+ ..i believe the NIS with linux does not support shadow. although i am not aware of a NIS+ solution that is debianized in stable. you can search the www for how to do NIS+ in linux but the process seems quite involved if your not using a supported distro like SuSE (since i think most of the NIS+ development is done by SuSE employees ..) i tried doing it with debian 2.0 ..and..ended up reinstalling because i hosed my libc bad. when i wanted a NIS server with shadow i decided on solaris 7(sparc) on an ultra 10 .. nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
