Steve,
We have a mix environment of SGI, Suns, Windows...and of course
Linux. We use NIS, with SGI systems as the NIS master and various slaves,
have automount on all the machines (home dirs are on a seperate SGI server).
On the PC side we use Samba 2.1.1a on the SGI NIS master server acting as
the PDC and everthing seems to run smoothly. I had some difficulties in
print share under Samba 2.2.0 so I recommend 2.1.1a at least. Note that I'm
using NIS and not NIS+ (easier to contend with - one domain). We do have
Samba running on some other Unix boxes. Hopefully I like to move the home
directory server to a SMP linux box with RAID and other nicities ), but
since the current configuration is working it hard to change over. I
haven't looked into OpenLDAP so I cant give you a comparison. Also be
secure aware when using NIS, I myself dont have to worry too much since
these systems are physically detached from the internet ;).

Subject: ? NIS+/OpenLDAP/nothing
I have a question for people using multiple
Unix systems at work.
I am looking for a "centralized" password
server for the Unix and maybe even incorporating
Windows machine using samba. What have most people
setup in there working environment that works best.
I would like to just managed one server that i could
at a user: then that user will be propagated through
out the other machine somehow. I have never
worked at a place that actually did that, but would like
to give it a shot.
NIS+ ?
OpenLDAP ?
?
Thanks.
