I would say LDAP with SSL is your best bet. Kerberos is a pain to implement/maintain. NIS is inherently insecure. NIS+ is better, but still a pain, and i don't think Linux NIS+ support is any good. See www.padl.com. They are the guys that maintain the pam_ldap module, and have lots of LDAP info in general. Also i think the Linux LDAP howto covers this (using OpenLDAP). We use eDirectory, but LDAP is LDAP. :) On Redhat, use authconfig to set it up once your directory is running. It'll be changing some stuff in /etc/nsswitch and /etc/pam.d/system-auth. -Ray -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ray DeJean http://www.r-a-y.org Systems Engineer Southeastern Louisiana University IBM Certified Specialist AIX Administration, AIX Support =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
