A related question: is NIS or LDAP (or something else entirely) better
if the machines are not uniform in their login configuration?
That is, we have an ever-growing list of special cases. UserA can
login to servers 1, 2 and 3. UserB can log in to servers 3, 4, and 5.
Nobody except UserC can login to server 6. UserD can login to
machines 2--6. And so on and so forth.
I currently have a custom script with a substantial configuration file
for checking that the actual machines are configured as per our
intent. It would be nice if there was a single tool where the
configuration and management/auditing could be rolled into one.
Thanks!
Matt
