You should check out the latest article on http://bsdvault.net . It details how to set up a password push to all your hosts from a master host. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of Jonathan M.

As for how to do it, I have not a clue. However, you might want to look up NIS, I think it does that. -- Jonathan -- Jonathan M.

I have finally gotten amd to mount my user directories correctly, which i realized that it's still a pain in the butt to have to maintain a separate /etc/passwd file for each machine. is there anyway to have all the machines use the /etc/passwd file on the machine that houses the user directories? erik To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
