what's the current standard for centrally managing accounts in small (under 20
machines) networks? I assume NIS because from what I've read, the overhead of
setting up and managing LDAP based authentication/accounts isn't justified. If
there is another alternative or another way to look at this problem, I would
greatly appreciate hearing about it.
The other question is around managing updates. It would be nice if there was
some automatic or centralized method by which I could update all machines as
appropriate without having to go and log in to every single bloody machine and
spend the better part of a morning doing this task. Ideas?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
