[comp.sys.sun] Workstation in 2 YP domains?

km@gatech.edu (Ken Mandelberg) (01/19/89)

We are in the siutation where some of our workstations really need YP data
from two domains. These workstations are located in a lab, and it is
natural to put them in the domain of the lab YP server. There are quite a
number of id's that are special to the lab.

On the other hand, many of the users of the workstations have their id's
administered on a central time sharing system which will in fact serve
their directories. A convention is used for ranges of uids so that there
is no conflict.

Does anyone see a nice way to handle this? Right now we see no way other
than to copy lots of passwd entries from the central system to the lab
server.
