Hi list, - just an idea...would it be possible (has anyone done it) to use your google login to authenticate your access to your central openSuse box?
Possible, sure; aside from being a horrible idea. [Authentication fails if the Internet connection is down, or if the provider changes their API, hostname, etc...]
Not necessarily, If the provider is down, system can fallback to other metnhod.
There is something like that with active directory login. Perhaps the same thing could be used here. But this would mean that anyone with a google account could, for example, ssh into your machine. I don't even like that this is the case with all the people in my company via active directory (can't limit it to certain patterns, or even a list of users - too bad). All google users? Surely someone would find a way to abuse that! -- Roger Oberholtzer Ramböll RST/OPQ Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
