Redish Lab<p>A couple of questions for <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/unix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>unix</span></a> gurus. </p><p>With the Windows 10 EOL crisis, we are likely going to be switching most of our lab computers over to unix. We have been testing <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Ubuntu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ubuntu</span></a> 24.04 LTS. It seems to meet most of our requirements nicely, but I have two needs I have not solved yet:</p><p>1. I am looking for some sort of <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/SSO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SSO</span></a> system where I can control all of the logins and group permissions centrally for the lab. I don't want people to have to maintain passwords across two dozen computers. I do not need the whole complexity of centralized group policies and the like. I just need SSO.</p><p>2. I am looking for a reliable <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/AntiVirus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AntiVirus</span></a> system. I know that people say unix doesn't need it, but I just don't believe that.</p><p>Important keys are (1) most of my personnel are not computer-savvy unix-gurus, and (2) I do not have the time to be a full-time sysadmin for two dozen computers, so the "we can hack this together with enough effort" solutions that I used when I was a (unix-savvy) graduate student myself is not acceptable here. I need a more business-friendly system.</p><p>Cost matters, but I'm willing to pay for the right thing. So am interested in both freeware and paid solutions.</p><p>thanks for any suggestions.</p><p>PS. PLEASE do not respond to this with a rants about freeware vs corporate, or the qualities of unix vs Windows. Those are debates for another time and another place. thx</p>
