Lots of useless header info stripped out

From: Adrian Chung Reply-To: ovsage@yahoogroups.com To: Ottawa Valley SAGE Subject: [ovsage] Centralized password databases. Date: Sun, 21 Apr 2002 21:19:07 -0400

Aloha!

I’m looking to co-locate a server that will act as a web and mail server. I’ve currently got a server on my LAN doing this, but I’m soliciting advice on how best to achieve a centralized authentication scheme once it’s moved.

Ultimately I’d like to have users able to set their passwords using one mechanism that is tied to a database shared between both the co-lo server and any servers running here.

Spring is in the air (at least that’s what they tell me) and the
Ottawa Carleton Unix Users Group (OCUUG) is coming out of a long
hibernation.

If you are interested in Unix or Unix like operating systems, read on.

So what is the OCUUG?

The Ottawa Carleton Unix Users Group (OCUUG) is a group of hobbyists
and professionals who have an interest in Unix-like operating
systems. By Unix, we mean any operating system which is Unix-like and
we will refer to this as *NIX. Everyone with similar interests is
welcome. OCUUG provides an open forum to discuss *NIX related
topics . The meetings and topics are driven by the interests of the
group.

Attendees:

Scott
Adrian
Steve
Kelly

Topics covered:

• Steve finally gave his mystery talk about high availability and
  network redundancy using IP multipath under Solaris. ;) And,
  touched on how *not* to build a datacenter.

• Scott talked about the SAGE Code of Ethics (both the original[1],
  and revised version[2] which he had a part in), and the Ottawa
  Carleton UNIX Users Group (OCUUG) and what’s happening there.

• I touched briefly on my home network, and per protocol/flow based
  monitoring[3].
