The /etc/passwd and /etc/group files are totally different across the two machines: e.g. the UID for alisdair on letdown is the UID for knox on skinny. Is there a sensible way of fixing this? Should I look into NIS? Thanks for your help, -- alisdair mcdiarmid [EMAIL PROTECTED] [where are all the stupid people from, and how'd they get so dumb?]
