hi all.

I would like to use ldap for user authentication. Everything works fine
but I have the problem that we have too many servers and we don't want
the user to login everywhere.
I could create entities, separate the users on that entities and tell
the servers to look only to specific entities. ... but at the same time
we have a lot of "global" users (users who connect to all machine) and
it means these users should be replicated on all entities.

any idea, suggestion?

thanks.

il capitano dei carabinieri chiede a un appuntato: "quanto fa 1+1"
l'appuntato: "3"
I colleghi in coro "gli dia un'altra chance. Gli dia un'altra chance!"
Il capitano ci riprova. Quanto fa "2+1".

I was lookin into the same thing. Linux has a pam module pam_access.so that
you can use to control access by group. I'm thinking about building it for
HPUX though it would be nice if HP supplied it.
