Full Discussion: Big /etc/group creating issue
Operating Systems Solaris Big /etc/group creating issue Post 302855665 by DGPickett on Friday 20th of September 2013 01:49:13 PM

LDAP is an alternative to using /etc/shaddow and /etc/passwd, or NIS. The advantage that LDAP has over password file is all information about users and groups can be held on one (centrally administered) server so the user information does not have to be replicated. The advantage over NIS is that LDAP can be used to store information besides user information (such as Netscape Roaming Profiles) and can be used on multiple platforms (NT, Novel, Solaris, and Linux for starters).

LDAP Authentication HOWTO

Set one system up and then make a mirror on the second, and put all the others on it until the other guys want to merge.

I'd love to see something with real RDBMS logic under it. An XML interface would be nicer, too. It'd be nice to have persistent-caching slave LDAP servers on each host, so they can run without the masters short term.
