Dave and Lin, I think what Dave is looking for here is something more along the lines of NIS (Network Information Service). While I don't have any experience working with this, I do believe it fits the requirements that he's looking for in allowing other machines to use the same user list, etc. as the main server. --- Andy > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Linh Pham > Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2001 1:14 PM > To: Dave Rideout > Cc: FreeBSD Questions > Subject: Re: Dumb Question PDC > > > On 2001-06-05, Dave Rideout scribbled: > > # We have multiple FreeBSD boxes.
