Hello, I have a smallish network of PCs (15 Win2k and 10 Linux mixed distro). I have my samba domain already installed with samba 2.2 (you probably remember deleting my whining about roaming profiles) and am looking for a solution to do network authentication for the linux boxes. I already knew of NIS so I was going to do that, but then I realized that it could be done with LDAP as well and am now considering that. Anyone have tips? NIS seems a little old and from what I have heard a little touchy. NIS+ sounds like its a beast. So I think I will give LDAP a shot. Austin
