Ah! Heh. Pestering target acquired!
I'm going to futz around some more this evening, after work. I managed to
get an old(ish) infrastructure box to authenticate via NIS, but that was
using telnetd, which I hadn't tried on the two other boxes. My initial
belief is that telnetd will authenticate via PAM like any other app-
lication, but I'll test this belief tonight. My immediate need is for KDM
to properly authenticate against NIS.
Incidentally, to get telnetd to authenticate against NIS, I didn't have to
do anything special... I made a single modification to nsswitch.conf,
adding nis as a source, and that was it. I'll try to educate myself a bit
regarding how PAM works, I guess.
I'll report back after another round of it.
