Hi Managers,

We have to set up a network with 30 Workstations permanently
connected to the Internet. Enhanced Security is enabled. We do
not want to use NIS, because of some troubles, that we already
had with NIS. Is there a solution how to add a new user that can
log in from any workstation without hopping from machine to
machine adding the new user. And the same problem occurs when
deliting a user. Or he/she changes passwords.

We think at a deamon that runs on every machine, doing these
jobs. So, is there something like an administation-tool that can
already do this? Or, do we have to code it on our own?

Thank you.

Bye, Frank
