Title : Directory-Based Information Services: Users and Groups
Author(s) : Mark R. Bannister
Filename : draft-bannister-dbis-passwd-00.txt
Pages : 21

Abstract:
This document extends Directory-Based Information Services (DBIS)
described in [draft-bannister-dbis-mapping-00] to support passwd and
group databases.
The passwd and group database schemas SHALL be backwards compatible
with the Network Information Service [NIS] but stored within [X.500]
entries so that they may be resolved with the Lightweight Directory
Access Protocol [RFC4510].
A passwd database represents user login accounts on UNIX and UNIX-
like systems and a group database represents user groups.
This document describes configuration maps [draft-bannister-dbis-
mapping-00] for passwd and group databases, and database entries
referenced by those maps.
Overlays may optionally be used to help reduce the complexity of
merging multiple DBIS domains in large environments by permitting
groups of hosts to have variations in their UIDs, GIDs, home
directories and login shells.
