LDAP in Unix

Subject: LDAP in Unix
Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2006 13:27:25 +0530
I have 100 + unix servers primarily Linux and solaris.

I am new to LDAP.

I would like to use Sun ONE Directory server and centralise the user

creation. Once I have LDAP based Directory server  is the following true?

1. Whenever a new user has to be created I will create on the SunOne

server and say it is valid only on this host(s).There is no need to
create the user at the host

2. There is no /etc/passwd and  /etc/shadow files on the individual hosts

anymore or they are not of any importance. All the passwords are

stored only in the Directory server.

3. As a later stage I would like to give RSA securID authentication to
selected set of high privilege users.

Is LDAP and Sun one the right direction?
