Users struggle to remember their credentials and compliance becomes more or less impossible.ДЄdministrators have turned to numerous different workarounds and configurations to try and ease this burden, with varying success and still resulting in too many local accounts on their system. ItвЂ™s a lot of work for administrators to keep things secure. With a userвЂ™s attributes tied so tightly to the file and folder permissions on a Unix host, which is something else that hasnвЂ™t changed much since the early days of Unix, user, group, and permission management quickly becomes a tedious and time-consuming task.

You can easily end up with different usernames, UIDвЂ™s, PGIDвЂ™s, GIDвЂ™s, home directories, login shells, and, of course, passwords on each system. But, when you have multiple servers, a single user becomes multiple and itвЂ™s very easy to start mixing things up and create a mess. If you have a single host with one user, thereвЂ™s no problem with management.

What started in Bell Labs 40 years ago has spawned more than 150 variants of Unix in use today. Over its long history, Unix has evolved and changed in many different ways. Security models have struggled to match the evolution of Unix.
