- Is there a way to hide passwords still using the yellow pages in an
- etherogeneous environment for the passwd file?
-
- We have upgraded to "C2" our HP and Sun workstations, and installed
- the "ENANCHED" security option on Ultrix.
- Sun is the only one that works with yp, whilest HP and Ultrix have
- mechanisms apparently not compatible with yp. The result is that we
- are keeping duplicated passwd files for all our non Sun workstations.
-
- Is it the shadow package a solution? Is it kerberos?
-
- Anybody can suggest a better solution? Any suggestion will be really
- appreciated.
