Hi all, I need your opinion... I have a set of linux machines that authenticate users via LDAP. Their home directories are mounted via NFS share. All the machines are RedHat Enterprise 3 Workstations (plus Server for LDAP and NFS) Anytime a new user comes in and needs an account, they have to see an administrator who runs a script that checks the users id against an institution wide system. If they are a valid user within the institution, an account is created for them and they get their password, ie an entry is created in LDAP for them and a home directory is created. It works well, but I want to do away with the intermediate step of them having to see an administrator. Ideally, I want them to be able to sit down at a machine, and log in using some username that will either verify who they are and create the account for them, or they attempt to log in using their institution user id and the system sees they aren't a user but proceeds to verify who they are and create an account. Has anyone done anything like this? Ryan -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
