glibc 2 and NIS/NIS+
glibc2, use with NIS/NIS+
NIS/NIS+, use with glibc2Forgot all this if you use the new GNU C Library 2.x (aka libc6). It
has real NSS (name switch service) support, which makes it very flexible,
and contains support for the following NIS/NIS+ maps: aliases, ethers, group,
hosts, netgroups, networks, protocols, publickey, passwd, rpc, services
and shadow. The GNU C Library has no problems with shadow passwords over NIS.
