    I'm considering a different of managing my user accounts on my Linux
    systems.

    They are all some flavor of Redhat - mostly Advanced Server 3 though.

    Right now I use local accounts, I would love to authenticate to my
    Cisco Secure ACS 3.2 servers via RADIUS. That way I could do the
    failed user policy to authenticate against the Domain.

    Otherwise I suppose I will have to look at some LDAP implementation
    that I've been reading on.

    Opinions and experiences shared are appreciated.
