I can't disagree more. LDAP is way simpler than any SQL database, even

You are correct.
Of course, as has been pointed out else-thread, LDAP is the way of the
future. It's much more scalable and interoperable between different OSes
and much more overcomplex, mostly unneeded complexity IMHO. Please think
twice before telling about the way of the future. It's just one way, and

Funnily enough, I am actually in complete agreement with you. When I
said The Way of the Future -- that should be read with a certain degree
of irony. No one is going to remove the simpler ways of doing this stuff
any time soon, because the simple way is the right way for the vast majority

Hello list,
Thank you everyone for your input. I now know what to look for. Gave it a
read at NIS in the
handbook but as you guys said it's FBSD only so because of the
interoperability i think i will go with
LDAP.
I'll just have to check if (i suppose it does) that particular linux distro

Off-topic, but do you know any good tool other than gq/phpldapadmin to
manage/browse/... an LDAP server ? At the moment I've my own set of LDIF
files that I use with ldap[add|delete|modify], but it's not very
flexible ..
A ncurses tool would be perfect.
look at gosa its a fairly well rounded ldap administration suite, probably
more then you might need, but it covers alot of the services

or potentially even Zivios might fit your needs
