This is my situation:
- I have a NIS+ server SUN. This is the main server of my net. (NFS, web,
etc.)
- I have 6 linux box (Red Hat 7.1/7.2/7.3, Slackware 8.1) and 4 Sun clients of 
NIS+, but servers.

If I log as root on a linux box, and make a su - <user-of-home-NIS+> I got 
ok.
But, how I block these user ? 
I don't want that my user on a linux box have access to all others users
from my domain!

Please help.
Thanx in advance.
