Hi, I have a system that needs user authentication. Right now I am using NIS to share the users password between all the machines that need it: one machine is the primary server, others clients are also running a secondary server: so would a machine get isolated, it could still do authentication with the secondary server that it is running. This is all smooth and transparent, files replication is done automatically. I am considering moving away from NIS (because its lack of security). Radius could do the trick, I can run several radius servers. But then I need to manually synchronize the data between the various radius servers. Does it exists another authentication system that would do the automatic data replication like NIS does? Best regards, Olivier
