Ever thougt about using LDAP? I do not have an installation that is as big as yours (only about 800 users), but I have no problems with performance and the server is not the fastest. home directorys are even exported with nfs and samba PDC with LDAP and Samba for a M$ Domain) is doing its job too on this box.... - Must be pam compatible. - Most users have MD5 passwords, but some are still crypt passwords. I do not have ready access to the original plain text passwords. - I don't want to mess around with too much, so I must have real "Unix accounts" (UID's and home directories) for each user. - Vanilla Debian "deb" packages. What alternatives should I consider?
