I have been looking around for an answer to this for a few days. I have a
cluster of machines and I want to limit who can login where without messing
too much with config files on individual machines. I thought I could do
something using netgroups, but I've had little luck. So far, the only thing
that has worked is using "pam_check_host_attr yes" coupled with a list of
hosts in the user's entry. I've tried creating a netgroup of hosts and
referencing that in the host entry, but that didn't work. I'm trying to
avoid having to list out over a hundred hosts in a user's LDAP entry.

Ideally, I would like to create groups of hosts and allow users access to
those host groups. Is there some documentation about the host declaration
that I'm missing?

Sorry if this has been covered before, but I didn't see any area where I can
search the archive.

Thanks
