Topic: NIS?

[Thorsten Dunker]

hi all,

i have a sme server behind a cisco pix. now i have to setup a
way that users can access their home dirs from home.
a vpn is not possible. so i think to setup the sme server
as nis server an another server outside the lan a nis client.
is this possible with sme server?
i have heard of a unofficial nis howto but cant find it.

tia and greetings
thorsten

is in the official SME Howto section

Why is VPN not possible? The cisco can should be able to be configured to allow access.
