How many machines do you provision to? How machine different is one machine to another? (One set of users here, one set of users over there, etc.)

Re: User Provisioning
This environment integrates well with Windows clients and Samba.
Its a fun, and not as hard as Windows 2003 Server.

Re: User Provisioning
Though I'm not sure exactly what you mean by provisioning, I think you're referring to how we set up users. I use the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files and simply keep them in sync on all the different HP-UX machines by rcp'ing them. Overly simplistic, perhaps, but it works for me. I suspect your environment might be a little too complex for this kind of solution, though.

SolutionYou can also consider Active directory services based products like vintela

Please see this ppt which is on LDAP-UX integration

Re: User Provisioning
What I'm really after is to find some people with something like a similar environment as ours, and see how they provision users. We have a signifigant number of unix/linux machines. There about 75 users common among all of them, things break down from there. I have machines where all other users are unique to anything else, groups of machines with common users, etc. (For example, one machine has the 50 common users, and then 300 unique users for a specific department. These unique users are on no other unix machines. I have "platform' of 12 machines that have the 50 common, plus another 50 that are in common among the 12 machines, etc.)
Are there people out there like us? Do you just hire people to go out and provision users, or what?
LDAP integration looks nice, but what are the implications for an environemtn like ours? Do we have to continue to provision like we are doing, and just use LDAP for the actual authentication? Can we set up some sort of group model in LDAP and 'subscribe' a machine to those groups that are needed for that machine's use?
Thanks
John

Re: User Provisioning
I strongly discourage you to use it but there is an initiative to deploy CA's eTrust package on all our platforms, unix, linux, other *ix, and the Redmond's finest for the very same reasons that you states in your previous message/expanded question. So far, my experience with deployment is really subpar. It may be because the project manager who supposed to provide clear and coincise install info did not do so. Also, I have a bad gut feeling for suites whose enterprise control app runs on nothing but windows machines.
Just to let you know in case you are evaluating solutions.
