Instead of fussing around with NIS, I wuz hoping someone knew how to reconfig Apache to read a passwd file not in /etc? Ideally I'd like to rsync over SSH, a passwd file from my NFS box (trying to migrate away from NFS now) so that I can have apache export the /public_html directories for my users.
So basically I'm looking for a config item that will tell apache to look in a different location for the passwd file so that it can do a lookup of the user's home directory. So far the apache documentation is less than helpful, or I'm just not searching for the correct criteria. The hassle is that we've got /home broken up into separate partitions (i.e. /home/1 /home/2, etc) Otherwise if everyone was in a single /home directory this would be trivial. /brian chee University of Hawaii ICS Dept Advanced Network Computing Lab 1680 East West Road, POST rm 311 Honolulu, HI 96822 808-956-5797 voice, 877-284-1934 fax
