RE: Account Management

[Skuse, Phil]

Read up on NIS (for centralised user accounts) and NFS (for centralised home directories). There are other options, LDAP etc., but whatever you do, keep it simple for the sake of your own sanity.   -----Original Message----- From: Calbazana, Al [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 05 September 2002 13:51 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Account Management Ok... We have a few Redhat boxes set up for development and testing...  Life is good!  I am wondering if there is an easier way to manage user accounts.  Is there a way to centralize user management to have accounts/permissions propagate through the network rather that having network admins set up accounts explicitly each time a machine is created?  Just looking for a better way J   Thanks,   Alejandro ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
