As much as I love FreeIPA.. it is not as simple as going into a directory, typing make and having your central systems passwords,hosts, groups, uids now available to everyone else on your network. And yes all that power is available in plaintext without any confirmation that it is valid or correct :).. but it is done in 2-5 minutes and probably extended by scripts written over a 35 year timeframe. Most of the site admins running NIS I know would change their text editor to $that_other_one before they would turn off NIS. My own opinion is that it is way past time to stop using it and supporting it. I understand its allure, but I also understand the allure of .rhosts files with * in them. > > And honestly the cool kids only want web > > logins these days as servers are a pain and why not just login into > > Google/Facebook/Microsoft and let them deal with all that setup. > > -- > Tomasz Torcz Morality must always be based on practicality. > to...@pipebreaker.pl — Baron Vladimir Harkonnen > _______________________________________________ > devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org > Fedora Code of Conduct: > https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: > https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org > Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: > https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure -- Stephen J Smoogen. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Flame wars in sci.astro.orion. I have seen SPAM filters overload because of Godwin's Law. All those moments will be lost in time... like posts on a BBS... time to shutdown -h now. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
