Had you review the Linux Terminal Project solution? Using LTSP with NIS will do what you need. http://www.ltsp.org/index.php Jorge Roque Dresdner Bank Lateinamerika, AG Technology Facilities Management Miami Agency Tel. 305-810-3352 E-mail: jorge.roque@dbla.com Internet: http://www.dbla.com -----Original Message----- From: Raul Gutierrez Segales [mailto:oxford@campoalto.edu.py] Sent: Tuesday, July 03, 2001 9:48 AM To: Purple Shirt Cc: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: RE: [SLE] Domain Controller in linux

Ganymede aka gash2? If you read ganymede's webpage it says that it's only for _large-scale_ environments. The overhead of running gash2 is big. You are most likely looking for a combination of SMB/NIS/NFS/LDAP and not ganymede.

Is LDAP the only way of centralizing usernames and passwords in a network with workstations working with xdm+bootp (no harddrive) and in it you have a lot of servers and you want all the users to be in all of the servers. Is it the best way? Any documento you would point me to.
