Hai, in return of installing Debian GNU/Linux I got my father's old 486, so now I've this problem connecting my machines:)
I've installed NIS, but I can't prevent the shadow file of being public now:( Anybody on my machine can do "ypcat shadow.byname" and start cracking those passwords. I thought the hole point of shadow was to let nobody but root see it. It's not a problem yet, I trust my wife and kids, but I would be happier if it were hidden. Or maybe I should consider switching to something else like Kerberos or PAM? I'm still running mainly Ham (eagerly waiting for potato to become stable:) but have upgraded things, e.g libc -- groetjes, carel
