In November there was a great discussion of NFS schemes.
To almost continue with that theme, I'd like to know
what schemes people are using to make their systems
transparent. (ie. no mater what machine I log into,
I still have the same passwd, and privileges...)
I know that YP/NIS is a common system developed by Sun.
Is there any advanytages or disadvantages people have
found using Yellow Pages/Network Information Systems
over another method of passwd, group, etc propagation.
Both follow ups and replies are welcome.
I'll try to summerize if there is some serious dicussion.
