Hello Everyone! Quick question. I've just made a series of scripts that will allow employees to add users to a single FreeBSD box that we use for authentication. The script modifies the password file, runs pwd_mkdb, then puts relevant information into a customer notes file. Now I need to replicate this information accross to a few other machines, i.e., web/ftp server, mail server, etc. Will NIS allow me to do this, namely, does it have a transparent authentication layer over passwd that programs like ftpd, apache, (merit) radiusd will recognize for retrieving password, shell, and home directory information? If this is the case, does anyone have a quick-and-easy setup guide for installing/configuring/adminning NIS? How about at least an ftp site where I can grab the latest version (or is it in ports?)
