password sharing between paltforms running hp, sun, linux,windows

I have servers running Sunos 5.8, HPUX 10.20, Linux, and Windows. Is there a program that will share passwords on a real time basis across all of these platforms, and enforce rules that meet govt. chapter 8 requirements. These include 8 character passwords, capital letters, numbers, unsuccessful logins, inactive accounts and account locking. NIS will not work.

The only viable option you have is LDAP. I don'tknow if 10.20 HP-UX supports it, but a centralized LDAP authentication server can be set up and meet government security guidelines.

Here is an HP-UX doc.

Hi,

I think LDAP will do for you, the only problem is 10.20. The latest hp ladp is not supported for 10.20.

Best bet is SFU - Microsoft Services For Unix

Thanks all. I will give these a try on some test machines.
