[Phphelpdesk-help] compatibility with NIS/yp

[mmoriarty <mm...@cs...>]

Hi threr
Ive successfully deployed phphelpdesk on our unix server, and it is 
working really well. Looking ahead, I want our students to log calls 
directly on the system, as there is around 600 of them and they already 
have NIS accounts and encrypted passwords, I would rather that they 
could resuse these to log into helpdesk and use the system. Would anyone 
know of a way to achieve this? The other alternative is to let each year 
log in as a single user but then they would see each others logs rather 
than seeing a personalised view
Any suggestions would be most welcom
