Re: NIS failover

[Peter Serwe <peter.serwe@xxxxxxxxx>]

After dealing with a couple of issues with OpenLDAP, I'd say it beats the piss out of NIS all day long.  NIS is ancient and decrepit.

Hard to believe, but certain very well known organizations refuse to get off NIS for critical and secure systems.

       Out of curiousity, can you point me to writeups of known working
       exploits against current yp-family versions on CentOS?

       NIS+ is not, the last time I checked, available for Linux; if
       my understanding is in error I would very much welcome
       correction.
