Querying NIS server
|
|
| Kyle Tucker 2004-01-23, 5:07 pm |
| I'm looking for a tool along lines of a "ypdig"
that can query maps on any particular NIS master
or slave server from a non-NIS bound client. I
just want to get information from the maps on
a system that isn't in the NIS domain. I don't see
any tool or PERL module for this. Any clues? This
will be used on Mac OS X clients for determining
some user-based info, such as $HOME on NFS servers.
Eventually I'll may put these clients on NIS but
cannot for now. Thanks.

| I do not know of any such utility but it would be relatively
easy to code a RPC-based utility to return the relevant
information in, for example, a comma separated string.
The RPC server would be located on a system that
was in the NIS domain. The OS X clients would simply make a
remote procedure call to the server to get the relevant
information.

I've personally used "ypsnarf" from dan farmer. It's a tool
that "exercise security holes in yp/nis"
ypsnarf.c in google will get the source to you

Thanks - this works perfect after getting a developer to
compile it on Solaris for me (some bp_address issue). Now
to get it built on OS X.
