project Database
You can store project data in a local
file, in the Domain Name System (DNS), in a Network Information Service (NIS)
project map, or in a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory
service. The /etc/project file or naming service is used
at login and by all requests for account management by the pluggable authentication
module (PAM) to bind a user to a default project.
Note - Updates to entries in the project database, whether to the
/etc/project file or to a representation of the database in a network
naming service, are not applied to currently active projects. The updates
are applied to new tasks that join the project when either the
login or
the
newtask command is used. For more information, see
the
login(1) and
newtask(1) man pages.
