Depends on what you really want. The "unix way" upto now is to use NIS. Check out 'man yp.conf' for example. This is a way to distribuate the password file (and other things) periodically to many machines. Using something similar to "Active directory" or whatever, maybe Kerberos is the thing. I recommend you to search for a few documents on your machine and on the network, take home and read, and start trying. -- Jon Haugsand, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.norges-bank.no -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
