Hi,
In my scenario, I have one PC attached to an Ethernet network with
a number of Sun4 work stations.
What do I want?:
I would like to let all users login in my FreeBSD machine without
having to create explicitly an account in the FreeBSD machine for every user
in my project but using the same password as for the Sun W-S.
Do I need some kind of software to allow the FreeBSD PC ask the NIS?
Actually I can make telnet or ftp from the FreeBSD PC to a work-
station using the IP address, I am NOT able to do something like:
$ftp pax.inria.fr
or
$telnet rsm.enst-bretagne.fr
Is that possible some way?.
All comments welcome, thanks.
