| 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?
