You found it out by yourself. Runs NIS. :) > Have read of a little bit on NIS, NYS etc. Is this equivalent to what > NT offers ? Is there something else that may be better or easier to > configure ? Better, I don't know. Easier to configure, probably not. > Any advice / pointers appreciated. Follow the howto's. In Debian there're a couple of things that behave differently, but no big deal. I run NIS here at the ISP, no problem. By the way, NIS will let you log on like on NT, but will not solve you the problem of having a network filesystem so you can have the same environment everywere. You'll have to: a) Replicate the /home/user contents upon login (very bad!) b) Export /home under some kind of networked file system. I've done it with NFS, and I haven't had time to try other things like Coda, but I really want to. Good luck .... Jordi S. Bunster
