No one seems to like AD. I actually find it to be fairly manageable compared to stock LDAP/Kerberos. The management tools blow OpenLDAP out of the water. I laugh at myself saying it, but if you want simple management of a big installation, AD is pretty dang tested these days and it's not hard to integrate other systems in that environment if you have admin control of the schema.

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... _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
