The only thing I'm trying to accomplish is a system which will allow me to keep user accounts and passwords in one place, with one place only to administrate. NIS seems to be able to do that.
Comments and insights are much appreciated!
A related question: is NIS or LDAP (or something else entirely) better if the machines are not uniform in their login configuration?
That is, we have an ever-growing list of special cases. UserA can login to servers 1, 2 and 3. UserB can log in to servers 3, 4, and 5. Nobody except UserC can login to server 6. UserD can login to machines 2--6. And so on and so forth.
I currently have a custom script with a substantial configuration file for checking that the actual machines are configured as per our intent. It would be nice if there was a single tool where the configuration and management/auditing could be rolled into one.
Thanks! Matt
You’d be fine with IPA which allows you to create such rules.
