Sync Multiple Linux Servers Users, groups and passwords
I have two redhat servers, each at a remote location. It is an administrative nightmare managing users and accounts on both to try keep them the same.
I have been looking on how to sync the two servers, i.e i create a user at site 1, this auto updates site 2 server with the new user details. So the user can login to either site easily. i.e Site1 server drops, all users simply login to site two. I thought of syncing certain files, but i am sure there is a solid stable solution available for linux for this? No Samba involved, pure unix. Can anyone help. Thanks. |
Ldap? Nis?

How about ldap?
Edit - sorry - sat on my post for a while |
Thanks! Thats it exactly. Reading tutorials now.
For some reason i thought ldap was a ms thing. duh... |

Best Solution is LDAP Master - Slave.
Next is NIS Master - Slave config. Least recommended : Sync files using rsync or unison ( Two way sync ) and Cronjob. |
Well, Best solution would be a combination of Kerberos/LDAP.
