Hi Folks,

I have a CSM cluster maintaining config files of approx 40 nodes. I need to define some users which are allowed to log in only to a small subset of nodes. Is there a method to accomplist this restriction under CSM?

Now I am doing the next:
If user "avenger" is only allowed to log in to host "host22", which is part of a CSM cluster, I define user "avenger" on the csm server, setting his shell attribute to /usr/bin/ksh_host22 and creating a link with the same name on host22 to /usr/bin/ksh. (also some magic in /etc/shells)

This method enables "avenger" to log on to host22, but receives a "no shell" error on all other hosts. Is it OK, but now I have to set user "mailman" to be able to log in to 4 other nodes, and I do not want to create a big mess in the user database.
