Central Computer Access Rights


Hey all,

I really hope that you guys can help me out with this, or have some good ideas. Anyways, I'll give you my current setup, and then explain the problem.

Current Setup:
1 Windows Terminal Server
20 Linux Servers

Problem:
I have multiple users that access 20 Linux servers we have from a terminal server. The problem is that I have to keep creating and deleting accounts on each of those servers every time we hire/fire a user or a user needs to access the server.

I was wondering if there is a simple/central way that I would be able to allow certain users to specific servers, without creating then deleting accounts on every single server all the time. I've looked into openLDAP, but didn't find a way of blocking access to an entire computer. Are there any programs out there that might meet could meet my requirements?

Thanks in advance

Update

Just to add onto my first post as a possible solution, but is it possible to filter per username. I was thinking if thats possible, then I have everyone log in through a Linux box, and then block/grant access to certain IP address based on their name.

Again, any help is appreciated
