NIS user account security system...!!!!!!

Selvaraj — Wed, 04 Oct 2000 14:06:21 GMT

Hello experts,

I want to know how to lockout NIS user account after 3 unsuccessful logins. One more request is that how to maintain last 5 old passwords in the same NIS environment.

Can anyone help me out to setup our security system....?

Thanks in advance..........!!!!!!!

I do not believe that base NIS has this functionality. I may be wrong, though - I have never seen anything beyond simple password aging implemeted with base NIS, but perhaps someone else has seen a solution.

Hi,

Just ran this by our networks team , It sounds that you may need to trust your system to achive this functionality.

NB NIS does not support trusted systems, NIS + (available at 11.xx only) does.
