>> LDAP+kerberos for auth and our homedirs mounted on first login
My first "real" job as a sysadmin had this kind of setup, albeit with Sun servers and workstations running Solaris 8. I was impressed by how well it actually worked most of the time given all the quirkiness of kerberos/nfs/nsc/etc..
- bryan_w 4y agoMy first job at University was dealing with this type of setup (Solaris workstations) except we weren't dealing with LDAP, Kerberos, and NFS, but rather AD and Microsoft DFS. It did NOT go that well, but was a good learning experience.
- dekhn 4y agoI've used kerberos + some auth (actually AD in addition to LDAP) and automounted home (and data dirs) a number of times (various clusters, departmental servers, corps). I'd say it was fairly mature (the OS stack supported it, it didn't crash all the time, etc) but still had (and has) sharp edges when it comes to high throughput computing.
- buildbot 4y agoSame, though much newer! UW CSE did the same when I worked there as a help desk tech, student directories mounted on login to the machines. IIRC, it was just a samba share linked into kerberos auth somehow.
