<pre wrap="">Why don't you have a go on free IPA, it is built on the fedora directory
server (LDAP) and has built in MIT Kerberos security, setup is a breeze,
especially compared with the Fedora Directory server with manual
kerberos setup. Why use smb if you only have linux machines in your
network? NIS is simple to setup and maintain but hard to secure. so use
some kind of ldap implementation, and your wish is reliable:ldap,
secure:kerberos and simple:webinterface = free-ipa

<pre wrap="">Hi,
Until now, I've only managed local user management on small network with
no more than five or six machines, e. g. all user data stored locally on
each and every machine (/etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group). Now I'd
like to learn remote identity management, that is, all user data stored
centrally on one machine (so I don't have to wonder who has which UID
and GID when I want to setup an NFS share, for example).
I understand there are several ways to achieve that with RHEL/CentOS:
NIS, LDAP, Kerberos, SMB, ...
The networks I'll have to deal with are 100% GNU/Linux (better: 100%
CentOS). So my first question is: which solution is the "best" for such
a configuration ? By "best" I mean some compromise between "easy" and
"reliable".
Any suggestions ?
