Slightly OT: Name services options



Sunmanagers,

I've "inherited" a NIS environment with two NIS servers on Redhat 7.3
(sigh...) and a bunch of Solaris NIS clients.
On NIS clients, how do I go about adding per-user granularity?
I.e. I'd like user "johnny" to be able to log on to server A, but not to
server B (where both A and B are NIS clients).

A. is this doable in the first place?
B. if yes, how is this done?
C. if not, what naming service allow me to do that?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Loris
