Hi Sun Experts
I have a query can any one tell me the advantages and disadvantages of Nis setting up in Sparc box and i386 .
My query's are ........
1. If i set up NIS in i386 box what is the advantage and disadvantage.
2. if i set up NIS in sparc what is the advantage
Thanks in advance
The SPARC/x86 question doesn't really seem relevant here, NIS should work the same whether you run it on a SPARC or X86 box.
The disadvantages of NIS are, as always that its insecure, insecure and about to be EOL.
The advantages are that its easy, easy to maintain, fairly reliable if maintained correctly, stable and works across most platforms and operating systems
