[comp.unix.admin] Administration tools for large networks

erik@unislc.uucp (Erik Sean Nolte) (10/31/90)

I'm looking for ideas, tools, and/or systems to manage a large number
of networked machines.  I'd rather not make any assumptions about the
network media or the machine OS (but TCP/IP & Unix will do).  Example:
I currently manage ~25 machines of different flavors of Unix on an
ethernet, but am looking at managing 200+ machines running Unix, VMS, etc
on both ethernet and dial up networks.

I've looked at Project Athena's "Moira" and the U of Kentucky's "Sat"
but I'd like to see all possibly solutions to this problem.  If anyone
can give me pointers to literature, FTP archives, or even e-mail me the
pertinent information, I'd be grateful.
