One runs FreeBSD 2.1.0, and the other runs Linux 1.2.13. The FreeBSD acts as a kerberos host for our terminal servers. We are using eBones for kerberos, due to US export restrictions etc. eBones is, as far as I know, not available for Linux. The Linux machine is for shell accounts and mail. Now, to my question. Can NIS be set up to use the Kerberos database for password information? At the moment, users have two passwords. One for dialing in, and then one for mail and shell etc., so there is no easy way for the users to change their dialin passwords(They don't have accounts on the kerberos host). All I want to do is use the kerberos password file as this networks central password file. Also, speaking of kerberos, is there a way to remove a user from the kerberos database?
