I would suggest that you get your basic system admin fundas first and then try the stuff that you are trying to do. LDAP is complex and requires several config files to be set correctly. From your query I am venturing that LDAP Auth is not the solution for you. Please read up some on bash scripting. Assuming that you have "root" access on all machine you can write a simple script to create the logins on all systems like the following #!/bin/bash for x in user1 user2 user3 do for y in host1 host2 host3 host4 do ssh r...@$y 'useradd -m $x' done done I have given you the frame work, you need to expand on the above to create the passwords etc. HTH -- Arun ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

YMMV. Going by the hypothesis that the tape indeed had "multi volume" and that I used the incorrect device /dev/st0 (instead of /dev/nst0), I think it is a reasonable assumption that there would be much more than "one" file in each volume (considering my tape archive was supposed to have animation frames)? So in my case there should have been more than one file in the first volume, retrieved using /dev/st0, Any thoughts/comments?

At best your OP was ambiguous and your follow up does not throw any more light as to what is the purpose of this ACL that you want to create. You should describe in detail: (a) what you want to achieve with the ACL (b) what you have done so far in your setup (sharing your ACL with the list is a good starting point) (c) your test result with setup in (b) IMO, only then members of this list will be able to help you.

[Ilugc] OAOD (aMule)
Applicaiton: aMule What it is: aMule is a free peer-to-peer file sharing application that works with the EDonkey network and the Kad Network, offering similar features to eMule and adding others such as GeoIP (country flags). Features: # eD2k and Kademlia support. # aMule is currently available in 28 languages. # Support for Source Exchange in order to find sources for files more efficiently. # Large queues and the Credit system helps to ensure that everyone will get the file they want and rewards those who actively upload to other users. # Support for the compressed transfers and server communication (using zlib), which means faster transfers for compressible files and less strain on servers. # Support for Secure Identification, which insures that your user hash can't be stolen in order to inpersonate your client. # Support for IP-Filters so that you can keep known bad IPs from connecting to you. # Boolean search (AND, OR, NOT). # You can have the traditional progress bar for transfers, percents completed or both. # aMule supports systrays for both Gnome, KDE and other compatible window managers. Of course, on Windows too. # Supports Online Signatures, so you can brag about using aMule. # Checks against aggressive clients.
