- Check out Guardian at: www.dlxguard.com
- Bruce R. Zimmer" <isdfgbrz@all-phase.com> has a perl program that will
keep people out and force the users to change their password. Contact
him if you want a copy of the program.
- http://www.utexas.edu/cc/unix/software/npasswd (does not work with NIS)
- Some people recommended NIS+, but I'm not sure it will do everything I need.
I found that NIS+ was very hard to work with when I tested it out several
years ago.
- Try this site : http://www.vais.net/~efinch/pwaging.html (I don't believe
this works with NIS)
My Comments:
-----------
I'm currently testing out a demo copy of "Guardian". So far, I like the
product very much. It looks like it will do everything that our company
is requiring me to implement. DLI has been very helpful in helping me
test it and answer question by email.
The cost will vary depending on the no. of users that login.
Guardian Server Software License $800.00 per server
Guardian User License $53.00 / user
Example:
If you you have a NIS configuration with 1 master and 2 slave masters, and
125 users:
3 X 800 = $2400
125 users X $53.00 = $6,625.00
Total cost is $9,025.00

Special thanks to all of the replies!
Thanks,
