Does anyone know a way in which I can centrally store usernames and passwords across several machines. This must be a very common situation in a school or college environment? I have a very mixed environment with an Exchange mail server, Mac Manager ontop of AppleshareIP and some Redhat boxes running Apache. I know that many of these machines support LDAP - I've also heard of a PAM module for Apache.... Anyone had a good experience of tackling this kind of issue? cheers, Russell RWe@southbank.org

The NIS/YP systems works well across six of our servers (all Unix): one has the password files and is NIS master, the others are slaves. I would however be extremely interested (it has come up before on this group) in methods of integrating an NT server into this, it seems likely that I shall be forced to have one sometime this year. It seems to me there is no way of making it a NIS slave, but the Unix systems can be configured as slaves to the NT. But I would prefer to hear of front-end software that will amend the password on both systems from one interface. -- Christopher Dawkins, Felsted School, Dunmow, Essex CM6 3JG 01371-820527 or 07798 636725 cchd@felsted.essex.sch.uk
