I've noticed a problem where workstations configured with NIS have a
problem mounting Samba shares. Apparently the passwd/group table is not
loaded prior to the share being mounted via fstab, so the share is
mounted with unknown user/group. Executing a "mount -o remount
sharename

I have a sarge installation on several workstations. I don't know how it
happened, but on one of them nis doesn't start automatically on boot.
I've already tried
aptitude purge nis
aptitude install nis
to get back to a clean install, but it just doesn't work. Where shoul
'anybody can log in from anywhere' with nis/ldap is just plain FUD.
NIS and LDAP are designed to do this, they do it (reasonably) well.
scping over password and shadow is an ugly hack and will bite you
if you create users on a regular basis. Maintenance is a pain.
You also have a sing

I like this idea of using rsync to copy over /etc/passwd, but I have to
ask, what problems does nis have (since that&#

We are using NIS/NFS to allow uses to login to a Debian desktop machine
that connects them to there Sun Solaris work space. We would like to direct
the many .dot files that are written to be directed to a sub-directory to
stop any interferance with pre-existing/duplicated files that are created

login on linux isnt there, like default shell.
I think that if I can set a default shell on login I guess I could use
LDAP/kerberos + automount and get the same result that I currently get
with NIS/Kerberos. All the users are on the same nfs export I think,
so it wont require that much automount magic

I cant! I dont have the authority to do that.
I have setup NIS which authenticate via the Kerberos server. I guess
it would be easiest to just add a group in NIS but LDAP is the future
and there is such nice GUIs.
Where do I prelogin scripting?
