NIS server on Linux
Hi list. Is linux NIS services are stable enough to be run as server ? I have 5 servers that i want to use as NIS clients. and i want Linux to be the server. Maybe you recommend a different authentication/Information technique ?

It bloody SAYS what it is. 111 is RPC. Read `man -k portmap`. 113 _is_ auth. I suggest, if you really disabled it and not just 'think' (cor, what a wrong word), running lsof and seeing what holds 113. Same for 935. 1024 _says_ it's kdm. I'd just run lsof.

SunSparc 10 or 20), and use it as NIS server. You can also get UltraSparc AXi based from Ankor for example at reasonable prices (AXi 300 if they still have it, is the low end).

They also have two 4 processor SPARC servers with 2GB or 3GB main memory, but I'm not sure if they are still for sale. One is an original Sun, the other is also from Ankor.
