I was wondering if anyone was interested in helping develop MyBorg. MyBorg starts as one Linux computer. You can configure multiple users on it (LDAP?) and many services.
This is more or less what NIS (aka YP) was intended for.I just did an NIS master server install for a new client too. I'm glad it still lives on!
Now if only those *4£kers in MS had used something that was compatable with the Unixy passwordy mechanism they could have had NIS too.
Computer 2 comes along and is assimilated by the original MyBorg. All users can log onto it like they could on the original MyBorg and to all intents and purposes it looks identical. Other machines can be assimilated, and in theory any machine can be taken out of the borg with minimum disruption to the system as a whole. I'd like to look into this in a lot more detail when I have the time but I thought I'd run it up the flagpole and see who what rude gestures it inspires.
