I hate that everyone makes fun of my "signature" :(
It's not even a signature. It gets appended by our stupid gateway appliance :\ I HATE YOU ALL AND I'M NEVER COMIN' BACK! lol Postlethwaite & Netterville From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Hebert Sent: Friday, October 02, 2009 3:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [brlug-general] UNIX password sync On Fri, Oct 2, 2009 at 12:00 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: Message: 1 Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2009 14:54:53 -0500 From: "Dustin Puryear" <[email protected]> Subject: [brlug-general] UNIX password sync Hi everyone- We have a UNIX network of 50+ Linux servers plus a few Solaris boxes. We need to keep user accounts and passwords synchronized. This would be easy enough with NIS, NIS+, LDAP, or AD, but there is a requirement that no central directory or database be used. The solution has to be distributed across the servers in question. Does anyone know of a solution, commercial or open source, that can do this? [Distributed peer-to-peer authentication | decentralized trust management] is a Flying Dutchman. Search Google for it; lots of scholarly papers, no implementations. You _could_ disguise one tiny Linux box as a paperweight, make it the Kerberos master KDC, the rest of the boxes slave KDCs and sync the auth DB every so often with a cron job, but that's just silly.

At P&,, we are committed to keeping your data confidential which is why we are implementing new email encryption software. This software inspects all outbound emails from our firm. Emails that contain attachments will require you to enter a password to download the file. This ensures that your confidential data cannot be read by anyone other than the intended recipient. Emails with attachments will include a link to a secure web server. Click on the link to download the attachment. The first time you receive a secure email from the firm you will be required to setup a password. This will be your password to access future attachments. For our clients and others, there will be a small step to download the encrypted files; however, we believe the added confidentiality benefits far outweigh the few seconds that are required to access the attachment. If you have questions regarding this new process or if you forget your password, please contact Jessica Aymond, P& Network Administrator, at 225.922.4600. =====================================================================================================
