We have 33 4100's and gs140's running 4.0d and 4.0e. These are in
three different NIS environments. (tek, dev, and prd). What we are
looking for is a means to continue using NIS for authentication but
limiting users to the specific boxes in that NIS environment that they
particularly need.
For example, a user from the pricing group, logging onto prd will only
have access to 5 of the 22 servers in that prd environment, only those
that actually run pricing applications.
The ideal situation in our view would be to limit the access to
machines by group rather than user. The large number of users and
servers would make the latter difficult to manage.
I would appreciate any suggestions to accomplish this. (We have
considered kerberos but found at the DECUS conference that support for
Kerberos is not forthcoming as rumor had told us it was.) Preferably
solutions supported by Compaq as this will make things much easier
when the solution is proposed to the management.
Thanks in Advance,
Allen Carpenter
