Hi! I configured my gentoo server box to authenticate users through LDAP (nsswicth+pam_ldap). Everything are working fine and now I want to run a ypserv and as a result I want the nis clients authenticating against my server. I following the instructions in http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Setup_NIS but the clients (gentoo and ubuntu boxes) don't find the ypserver, any clue? I was planning to make the clients authentication directly to LDAP server, but in this case I have to install pam_ldap and create a /etc/ldap.conf and put ldap bindpw into this file or in /etc/ldap.secret. Even if I protect it with 600 the use can get this file installing a windows application (the client machines have dual boot) that read ext3 partitions and read the files, finally getting the bindpw. Any comment about this? Am I thinking wrong about that?
Thank you. BTW, all suggestion will be greatfully accepted. Leandro. -- Leandro Melo de Sales. Computer Science MSc Candidate Distributed System Lab - lsd.ufcg.edu.br Pervasive Computing Lab - embedded.ufcg.edu.br Universidade Federal de Campina Grande - UFCG -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
