Hi, this is my first post here.. This is what I am looking to do. I want to have a "hub" server with diskless workstations. The workstations will need to be able to connect to the hub and run/compile apps. The clients should not be able to log into each workstation, so how would I determine if they can login or not? For instance if they ssh to ws1.me.com it will log them into that, and they won't have any access to ws2 etc. Also, each workstation needs to hold IP aliases. Users on ws2 should not even see IP addresses on WS4 for instance, or use them. What is the most secure method and fastest (connection to hub wise) method for achieving this?
Basically, I'm sure there are daemons that will do pretty much what I am looking for, but have no idea where to start researching on this topic. Thanks in advance, Mike
