Re: Linux/windows remote authentication

[<brian_carpio () csgsystems com>]

One Word NIS now people on this list might tell you that NIS is a security
hole (well nis is try NIS+) hard to manage etc.. however I think it's
great!

Better yet try LDAP LDAP is better then NIS and NT supports it in a way
(active directory).  Plus LDAP is a lot more powerfull then NIS but harder
to configure in my opinion (maybe because I have worked with NIS soo long
it's second nature to setup a NIS environment) LDAP is the future however.
