		<description><![CDATA[Here, I&#8217;ll admit it. One of the things I&#8217;ve always been a little scared of, in terms of Linux server administration, is LDAP. It&#8217;s obviously incredibly useful in many ways, not the least of which, it&#8217;s the most current and secure way of centralizing user, group and system configuration information, even across the web.

		<description><![CDATA[NIS is a bit of an old-school solution on UNIX systems for sharing user information, including logins, across systems. This allows administrators to centralize all user account information, as well as home directories, across any number of physical machines. There are some security implications (like having to disable iptables on the server, see below), and [...]]]></description>

Since we were using the file_column plugin, which doesn&#8217;t normally save any image information besides the file name, this turned out to require some hacking.
