On our solaris boxes we're currently using NIS+ and planning to migrate to LDAP within the next few weeks. I tested pam_ldap on fbsd only to discover that it will authenticate off an ldap server but you still need an entry in the password file. My goal is to be able to add an account and the hosts the user is allowed to access in one central location. I'd also like to avoid taking a step backward into NIS. Can someone reccomend a solution?
