Thanks for both points. I ask because I ran into a problem when running
yum to install X Windows with regards to, IIRC, PGP, and being able to
mount the floppy would be useful.


Thanks,

You mean it's impossible using doze + winzip to download a kernel

Sparc Solaris NIS client Linux NIS server

Nico, Agree totally, however I'm not worried about users viewing the
table. I'm going to take the line of insider trust verse insider
threat. Granted this isnt a good thing but then again I have to
have some trust. Plus its easier. My real problem is getting the
solaris client to authenticate, which its not. I'm going to
check out my nsswitch.conf, like chris suggested because I cant
imagine where else a problem would be. Any other suggestions?
Just to regress a bit, once I get the authentication working I will
look into wrappering it up with ssh. Actually I have wrappered all
the daemons associated with NIS already, so I do have some level,
albeit minimal, security enabled whereas only trusted machines within
the local network can even bind to my NIS.

NIS user unable to su

Nico, Youre exactly right. I did not even setup a wheel group.
I guess its since i'm so used to just using the solaris setup I
have where anyone can use the su command. I'll look into that
and probably create the group etc. SUDO is probably an even
better answer since I have a limited number of users that really
need root access.

Thanks I would have not thought this to be the problem.

Oh, but yum is a front-end to rpm, that is, it uses rpm to actually install
things. It does download the packages first, and you will find them in
/var/cache/yum/*/packages (where the star (*) is the repository name).

cd /var/cache/yum
ls */packages/video*
cd [the repo]/packages
rpm -i --force videolan-client*

I might not remember the exact details of the rpm command, use "man rpm",
search for "force" (hit the / key and type force, enter) and browse around
for whatever I missed.
