-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi ! I'm building a new network for my company. I need centralized authentication and looked after LDAP to achieve this. Unfortunately, there are 2 points that make me wonder the good use of it: 1. nss_ldap and pam-ldap need FreeBSD-5.1 and are not for production use 2. I really don't feel confident with LDAP So, I was thinking about using NIS instead, with which I feel much more confident. I understand it is really not secure, so I was looking about more information on this: why is is unsecure, does it send password in clear text ? Does anyone know a solution for securing NIS, using ssh or encrypted tunnels or anything... I am open to any new idea :) Thanks in advance.
