NIS+ solutions ? [was: A question about Auth Backends]

[David A. Mason]

As I understand it, it is possible to authenticate to anything that Linux
uses for user authentication, such as LDAP or Kerberos or NIS+, provided
encrypted passwords is turned off.

Am I right?

Hi,

i would like to append this question to NIS+ support.

I still do not find useful hints about solutions when
a NIS+ server is the main auth-server. In my situation
there have to be hosts supported that even doesn´t
have any knowledge about PAM or the like (e.g. SunOS
4.x or HP-UX 9.x) and authenticate against standard NIS.

Anyone having solutions on this topic or working on it ?

 Cheers, Peter
