Do you have it working with openbsd too ? I mean for replacing NIS!
We don't use it for server authentication - our admin crew is small enough
that we actually use standard logins.
LDAP is the perfect tool for user services like Samba, Email, and web (our
applications). Combine LDAP & Samba to participate in AD, so that's also a
godsend for Windoze shops.
If not, is there a NIS server that uses openldap as backend for its
data ? Is it open source?
Wouldn't it be an interesting approach ?
I doubt that would be a good approach - NIS itself is pretty insecure.
We have not yet encountered an application that would benefit from LDAP as
server authentication, .. as all 'user level' services we encounter already
have LDAP authentication modules.
