We use redhat and mandrake at our company and with redhat I can run a simple 
config program called "authconfig" to configure authentication, you can f.ex 
configure to use NIS with passwd

Is there some kind of similar software available for Mandrake?

I have a server that is going to be a samba/printer server with cups.

I don't want users accounts and home dirs on that server, only the ability 
for the users to authenticate and since we are using NIS internally I thought 
that would be a painless solution.

Any comments?

So I need to make a /etc/pam.d/system-auth file that accepts NIS.

Thanks in advance,

Mads
