[wplug] NIS over SSH

[John Harrold]

Sometime in August Alexandros Papadopoulos assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| Yes, I am automounting the home directories, but since I don't use RSA/DSA 
| authentication, the existence of ~/.ssh shouldn't be an issue. The only 
| work-around I've found for the time being is adding a stub account in the 
| /etc/passwd file (and nothing in /etc/shadow), just with the account 
| information, but no password.

i use automount for home directories which get their user info from an nis
server and i'm able to use the rsa/dsa auth. for these users without a
problem.

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless,
 whether the mad destruction is brought under the name of totalitarianism or
 the holy name of liberty and democracy?
