Hi there, I am looking to centralise authentication for a group of servers on my network. I have a couple of questions. As far as I can see, my options are Kerberos 4, Kerberos 5 and NIS/YP. Have I missed any out? I want to authenticate logins via ssh, cvs access (over ssh), possibly rsync and pop. Is there one solution that can cover these ? Lastly, some of the machines are at another site and we just connect over the Internet. We have no vpn in place, so passing plain text passwords is not really an option. How badly does this limit my choices ? TIA, -- Wayne Pascoe <wayne.pascoe@ehsrealtime.com> Things fall apart; the center cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world. - Yeats To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
