What is the "right" way to synchronize passwords between hosts?
On a medium-to-large scale, Kerberos and LDAP. On a small scale, NIS.
There are two machines set up, one FC6 and one F7, and I'd like any
password changes on one to also show up on the other.
On a *tiny* scale like two machines, though, how about "remember to
change passwords in both places"?
What if you have a couple dozen guest accounts? (I plan to keep their
shells set to /sbin/nologin except when the guests are here -- and also
to keep the machines they're on shutdown and physically disconnected from
the Net most of the time except when guests are present. I don't *think*
it'll be much of a risk that way ...)
Webmin has a cluster mode that will update users/groups on some number
of machines.
