There is also a authentication-method that allows you to verify a passwd
against a smb-source (samba or nt-server, workstation). If you manage to
include this in your email, ftp-software you have won. I dont know if
there are pam-modules for that, I just know it from perl.
Maybe this helps,

Assuming you're using a version of Linux that support PAM, there is aQuote:> Dear there,

Before you buy.
We have a small cluster of Solaris 2.6, 7, and soon 8 boxes (plus some AIX
and Linux). We are at the point where just maintaining users per box is
becoming a major pain. Some options come to mind:
1) NIS/NIS+. This seems to be the "old way" of doing things.
2) We have a CiscoSecure server here, bringing up the option of RADIUS (or
TACACS). Having used RADIUS before, this just doesn't seem to really fit. On
the other hand, if I am not mistaken, CiscoSecure uses Netscape Directory
Server 3 as a back-end.
3) LDAP. This is where things are heading (can you say Active Directory and
Novel Directory Server?). However, I'd prefer to be using Netscape/iPlanet
Directory Server over Sun DS 3.1. It also seems like NIS+ is still used on
the client computers?
Some other questions:
A) Which of the above would I need to keep a /etc/passwd file with all the
users in it (e.g. so 'ls' shows usernames).
B) Ay recommendations for pushing out /etc/passwd and other things?
Cfengine looks promising.
C) What about fault tolerance/redundancy for the user server?
D) What about authorization information? Can I store in the central user
server what computers someone is allowed to login on and which ones they can
only so the suid thing?
Thanks!
