Similiar to active directory in Unix?
Hi all,
If Windows server have an active directory and active folder/mapping(maybe in unix NFS).
Is there any similiar fuctions in unix. Actually if we have a hundred client in unix/linux with unix server, I want to manage user client and access control easier as in windows.

Thank you in advanced.

If you want windows, use windows. If you don't, can you describe what you want without expecting us to know the intricacies of microsoft products this forum has nothing to do with?

NIS (Network Information Services) or LDAP will do the job. You will find lots of information on Google.

if u have a large number of client, then go for LDAP management which will be used for different purpose with security, where if u have small system network then better go for NIS+
