Sun bought some LDAP company with planet in the name and I never in = months of trying could get their LDAP script to set-up the LDAP = environment. Over time we added Open Directory which is what OS X used after NetInfo. = I still use directory services and have used OS X Server=E2=80=99s = Directory Server as a kerberized LDAP server or Linux and server = user=E2=80=99s accounts. This required get the Linux servers to bind = using SASL to my kerbierized server. That has been my experience and with the changes coming to OS X server = I=E2=80=99m now moving towards OpenBSD but plan on bringing the OS X and = it=E2=80=99s Directory Server with me as long as it lasts:) Let me know if you have specific questions, Ben > On Nov 4, 2018, at 3:51 PM, Grant Taylor via TUHS = wrote: >=20 > Does anyone have any experience with YP / NIS / NIS+ / LDAP as a = central directory on Unix? >=20 > I'm contemplating playing with them for historical reasons. >=20 > As such, I'm wondering what the current evolution is for a pure Unix = environment.
