hey all, please cc me as I am not subscribed. I've been playing around with kerberos for a while, and for my purposes I believe it is overkill. I'm looking for an authentication backend which will provide centralized and a hopefully secure database of users. Of course, it would require server support, but I do not want to make changes to the client programs. Ideally it would also provide an ACL-like system (i.e. this user can log onto the mail server and the file server, but not the print server). I was looking at OpenLDAP but discovered various security flaws (ldap is the wrong software for this). Is a regular db like postgres, mysql, or even berkeley any good for my situation? thanks -- shiva To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
