nis

Our company has a central NIS configuration that we are using to access our teams servers (Redhat)...

The current configuration allows all valid NIS authenticated users to connect to our servers. We cannot update or change something on the NIS Master Server... so...

Is there a way to use netgroups or some other configuration to allow our team members to authenticate using the NIS server but still restrict access to all other users?

Thanks!
