Managing Users in a Global Environment

Hello,

I am interested in your strategy for handling engineers Unix accounts when the engineers must log in to resources in a variety of locals in a global environment. The engineers home directory and normal environment is local to where the engineer is sitting. When they log in to a remote location access performance to their home directory, over the WAN, is poor. It is a Linux software development environment with large compiles (1-2 hours).

Do you use WAN acceleration?
Do you have multiple home directories and mess with auto-mount depending on where they log in?
What do you do and how do you manage it?


Thanks.
Randal

MYSQLND_MS_GET_LAST_USED_CONNECTION(3)					 1				    MYSQLND_MS_GET_LAST_USED_CONNECTION(3)

mysqlnd_ms_get_last_used_connection - Returns an array which describes the last used connection

SYNOPSIS
array mysqlnd_ms_get_last_used_connection (mixed $connection) DESCRIPTION
Returns an array which describes the last used connection from the plugins connection pool currently pointed to by the user connection handle. If using the plugin, a user connection handle represents a pool of database connections. It is not possible to tell from the user connection handles properties to which database server from the pool the user connection handle points. The function can be used to debug or monitor PECL mysqlnd_ms. PARAMETERS
o $connection - A MySQL connection handle obtained from any of the connect functions of the mysqli, mysql or PDO_MYSQL extensions. RETURN VALUES
FALSE on error. Otherwise, an array which describes the connection used to execute the last statement on. Array which describes the connection. +---------------+--------------------------------------+---+ | Property | | | | | | | | | Description | | | | | | | | Version | | | | | | +---------------+--------------------------------------+---+ | | | | | scheme | | | | | | | | | Connection scheme. Either | | | | tcp://host:port or | | | | unix://host:socket. If you want to | | | | distinguish connections from each | | | | other use a combination of scheme | | | | and thread_id as a unique key. Nei- | | | | ther scheme nor thread_id alone are | | | | sufficient to distinguish two con- | | | | nections from each other. Two | | | | servers may assign the same | | | | thread_id to two different connec- | | | | tions. Thus, connections in the pool | | | | may have the same thread_id. Also, | | | | do not rely on uniqueness of scheme | | | | in a pool. Your QA engineers may use | | | | the same MySQL server instance for | | | | two distinct logical roles and add | | | | it multiple times to the pool. This | | | | hack is used, for example, in the | | | | test suite. | | | | | | | | Since 1.1.0. | | | | | | | | | | | host | | | | | | | | | Database server host used with the | | | | connection.

Note mysqlnd_ms_get_last_used_connection(3) requires PHP >= 5.4.0 and PECL mysqlnd_ms >> 1.1.0. Internally, it is using a mysqlnd library C call not available with PHP 5.3. EXAMPLES
The example assumes that myapp refers to a plugin configuration file section and represents a connection pool. Example #1 mysqlnd_ms_get_last_used_connection(3) example <?php $link = new mysqli("myapp", "user", "password", "database"); $res = $link->query("SELECT 1 FROM DUAL"); var_dump(mysqlnd_ms_get_last_used_connection($link)); ?> The above example will output: array(10) { ["scheme"]=> string(22) "unix:///tmp/mysql.sock" ["host_info"]=> string(25) "Localhost via UNIX socket" ["host"]=> string(0) "" ["port"]=> int(3306) ["socket_or_pipe"]=> string(15) "/tmp/mysql.sock" ["thread_id"]=> int(46253) ["last_message"]=> string(0) "" ["errno"]=> int(0) ["error"]=> string(0) "" ["sqlstate"]=> string(5) "00000" } PHP Documentation Group MYSQLND_MS_GET_LAST_USED_CONNECTION(3)
