GREETINGS, List-dwellers:
I've been trying to establish an environment similiar to what I support
at work, wherein numerous UNIX boxen on a trusted network are granted
unauthenticated (transparent, even) rsh/rlogin perms and user writable
NFS volumes, via autofs and NIS. As I understand the current level of
maturity with respect to the Linux codebase, the code for autofs (and
perhaps NIS/NFS as well), does not work properly yet with shadow
passwords, and as a result things are ro (and therefor broken) where
they should be rw. So, this brings to mind: Dumb question #64322: how
can I back out shadow passwords? I am running x86 boxen with debian 2.0
(hamm) - all packages installed via dselect.
(c'mon, it's my home network - no Sun or Auspex toys there ;-)
If you see anything in the above description where I'm going astray,
please do speak up -
Thanks in advance!
-James
