    Hello,

    We have a NIS environment here, and all linux machines look at the same NIS
    server.

    Our NIS Server, however, is also our DNS Server, and Intranet server, and
    Sun GridEngine master, and a few other things, and the problem is that users
    are perfectly able to log into this machine as if it was just another linux
    box.

    We therefore need to restrict people from logging into certain machines on
    our network, but the same machines need to remain in NIS for those users we
    want to allow.

    Do you know if this can be done? If so, how?

    Thanks in advance,
    Richard.
