Can you clue me in on a secure implementation of NIS for the Linux OS? I
could really use it to simplify my homegrown methods ofdistributing
authentication information.

That machine, dobie.ebs.net. Is not on the same segment, nor the same
address class as our servers, and there sits a router between teh two of
them. It is not trusted by any machines.
But we are using NFS between two servers on our network now.
Have you tried TIS-fwtk's SMAP as a replacement for sendmial yet?
