It sound a only a little bit more what I have a s /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/groups and /etc/gshadow replacement... I have exactly this too and it rund quiert well on a MiniITX with 1000MHz and 1 GByte of memory which is 60% unused. The Debian GNU/Linux 7.11 installation together with the postgresql database using less then 5 GByte... Lets say, the whole thing would run an a 20 GByte HDD. I manage currently 23.000 users with it... And no, I do not use LDAP. My webservices authenticate directly with the database server which is hostet at a friendly ISP in Estonia. > 2. Can we use Vm's to run the Db? Is it recommended ? Yes of course. > Thanks in Advance! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Michelle Konzack 00372-54541400
