This change is about dropping user-authentication using NIS(+) from PAM.
+1
I'm putting a placeholder -1 on this to ensure we get it on the agenda for the meeting on Monday.
Metadata Update from @sgallagh: - Issue tagged with: meeting
Consider me +-0 on this one: on one hand we'll have to get rid of insecure auth methods but on the other hand there's really no simple alternative that ticks all the existing boxes.
+1 with good amount of documentation and informing the community/users.
This was discussed during today's meeting: - AGREED: NIS/NIS+ will be removed from the distro in F36, contingent upon the inclusion of documentation and/or migration tools being made prominently available (+6, 0, 0) (zbyszek, 19:42:42) - ACTION: besser82[m] will initiate the work on the article (zbyszek, 19:44:30) - ACTION: StephenGallagher will help too (zbyszek, 19:45:24)
Metadata Update from @zbyszek: - Issue untagged with: meeting - Issue close_status updated to: Accepted - Issue status updated to: Closed (was: Open)
Should one expect to see the new NIS->LDAP(?) migration documentation some time before change completion deadline?
Yes ;)
Change checkpoint (completion deadline) was five days ago, and beta freeze is in eight days. Is it too soon to hope for the new NIS->something transition documentation? Is this Change the right place to look, or is it this twin, or elsewhere?

I released slapi-nis 0.70.0 which defaults to not provide NIS server emulation. This will remove NIS server side from Fedora as well.
