Does anybody know about C2 security on SGI?
(or shadow password mechanism which can go along with NIS...)

We have 4 workstations and they are tightly coupled with NFS and NIS(YP).
The server(master) machine is Iris 4D, and clients are Sun4 and Mips.
But, as you know, the NIS without C2 has great security hole.
(If you got the domain name, you could get anything from that domain.)

I have to secure our machines. Please send a E-mail to me if you have
the right answer....

Thanks in advance.
