alternatives to NIS and NFS
Hi,
I am in charge of a small office network. The server is running Debian
stable with some testing packages and the desktops are running mandrake
10.0.
Currently we are using NIS for authentication and NFS to share the home
directories.
I have been having some hassles with NIS and would like to upgrade to a
more modern system.
Are there any alternatives to NFS and NIS?
As long as it not to complex to setup and is fairly easy to administer
its fine. X is not on the server so all admin takes place over
ssh.Security is an issue.
It is safe to assume that there will not be any windows clients on the
network, ever :) There is one osx ibook being used but it does not need
to 'login' to the network.
Thanks very much,
Paul
