Re: Limit logging in to certain users

Is there a way to propagate accounts to different servers, but limit who
can login to those servers? For instance, only administrators should
login, not regular users. I thought about created a second NIS domain
and only putting the servers/accounts on it, but there must be another way.

There's nothing built in to Solaris to do this. We do it through PAM
modules. All users are defined in the NIS passwd map. Other NIS maps
determine which users have access to which servers or services.
