Anyway, the major problem is keeping all the systems in sync - the same users need to be set up on each of the Servers, and it's becoming a real bind adding and deleting users all the time as this company hires and fires far too many people!! Is there any way I can set one Server up as the master, and configure all the other Servers to gain their user information from this one master? Just to make things more difficult, the Servers are a mix of Red Hat Linux 7.1 and 7.2. I'll also be adding 7.3 into the equation shortly as we're expecting to build them a new Server in a few weeks! So, can this be done? Could anybody please point me in the right direction? ----------------->>>> Absolutely and your version mix isn't a problem either. One of the popular (maybe) ways is nis which comes on the standard RH distro. It's a bit to set up but has been working well for us for so long I can't remember much about setting it up. You can also use LDAP (also on RH distro) but there has been a learning curve there that I've not had the time to get into.
