I don't want to make a huge issue out of this, but I'm wondering
how many people are building large distributed networks on top of Linux,
and what luck/experiences they've had. By distributed, I mean using
master and slave NIS servers to distribute large password and group files,
as well as AMD maps with dozens of entries to several dozen systems. I am
and have been doing so for about a year now and have had some expectations
broken. Would anyone with pearls of wisdom like to share them with me in
private email?
FWIW, using libc-5.4.33 and ypclients-2.2-970318 seems to make a fairly
decent NIS implementation. But I've never been able to keep even the
latest AMD up with it for more than 47 days.
thanks,
