Hi,
I need to authenticate (with a unix machine) users trying to FTP to my
MAC (passwords typed by users ftp-ing to my MAC, will be authenticated
using a unix machine).
I am currently evaluating FTPd 3.0 for the MAC as a ftp server, however
it uses the users and groups database for authentication.
Is there a replacement for the users and groups database that uses NIS,
or some other form of remote-unix authentication?
If not, can any of you think of another way to do remote-ftp
authentication? Is there another FTP server that does that kind of
stuff?
Ny unix supports NIS, netatalk, samba, pcnfsd, and almost any kind of
password-authentication protocol.
P.S.
I need a solution that is shareware/freeware.
P.P.S.
I check MacLogin, and it doesn't have the needed capabilitied.
Thanks,
Bye,
Yannai.
