Hi,
Can anyone help me with a NIS howto? I am writing an application which needs to authenticate off a NIS server. I know that PHP has the various NIS functions for this purpose but I would appreciate it if someone could tell me what exactly needs to be done.
Like, once I get the login and password, I will have to use the ypmatch function along with the login name and it is supposed to return a string. Now what is contained in the string and how do I match the password that I have got from the user with the password returned by ypmatch?
Could somebody help please? I would appreciate it very much.
Thanks in Advance
Arif
