an ldap slave on the head node makes a fair bit of sense. it can still be automatically synced to the "enterprise" ldap, and compute nodes can refer to it alone. excepting /etc/passwd (either on nfs root or somehow rsynced), I'd consider this kind of ldap setup to be the norm these days. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
