And I'd at *least* go to NIS+. openLDAP is an unbelievable pain, but
Nobody in their right mind uses NIS+. Even Sun have stopped it.
When I did Solaris 2.4 training NIS+ took 2 chapters of the manual. When I did Solaris 9 training it took 2 sentences. Yes, NIS+ may be more secure than NIS, but it's a FPOS to use properly and not a recommended solution.
*shrug* I've never used it. Trust me, openLDAP is a royal PITA, but with AD as an alternative....
Both NIS+ and LDAP are a PITA but NIS+ less so, IMHO, probably because I learned it first. Anyway, NIS+ is pretty much history...
