Unix/Solaris admin programs
Hi,

Im working for a company that has over 400+ unix/solaris boxes.

Obviously when we get a new unix guy join the company, its take us AGES to set them up on all these boxes.

Can people recommend any programs/packages that can be added to our unix/solaris boxes to make this easier?

Thanks in advance....

well, if there are already 400 solaris boxes it could be to late, but have you ever thought about LDAP or NIS/NIS+ ?

If you don't have LDAP or NIS as Pressy suggests, and your boxes are standalone, you can use an expect script to automate user creaiion in all boxes.
Your company probably needs to hire some real unix guys, too Smilie
