I am seeking any ideas or opinions on this subject. I am implementing NIS for use in a LAN to enable shared passwords with serveral servers. The only problem I've ran into with NIS is that my FTPd, POP, and radius daemons all require an independant password file. The only way I can find to have different password files for the servers but still keep them managed from a single location is to hack the daemons so that they read the passwords from a NFS mount. If I'm going to do this I may very well have to toss NIS out the window and just place the pwd.dbs on a NFS mount point available to all of my machines.
