[HPADM] Restrict NIS users to hosts

Hello group:

 

I'm using NIS to manage user accounts on 15 HP/UX 11.11 servers.

 

Although all users are managed in NIS I do not want them logging onto a host

On which they have no $HOME directory. Currently any user in the NIS map
which happens

to telnet to the wrong host is logged with "/" set as their home.

 

Unable to change directory to "/home/nistest"

Logging in with home = "/".

Please wait...checking for disk quotas

 

Even though they can not create, change or do much damage they can see and
list files etc.

How do I restrict a NIS user log on to only the hosts on which they have
home directories and abort?

Any logon to others.
