Sync trusted system logins across multiple servers

[Craig A. Sharp]

I have several servers that act as front-end servers for a database. These are all trusted systems. The users are going to be load balanced across the servers. I need to find a way to sync the logins across the servers.

Craig,

Unless I am misunderstanding what you want to do, you want to go with NIS+ and trusted systems.

Remember nis does not work in conjuction with trusted systems.

Shalom,

LDAP will work, though you may need to go untrusted first and go to shadow passwords.

Red Hat has a port of directry server from netscape that supposedly works with HP-UX. The jury is out on that one in Jerusalem.

NIS the simplest option will not work at all in this context.

I've been working on integrating HP-UX and Linux systems into ADS domains and this works very seamlessly for Samba and somewhat less seamlessly for login.
