I usually recommend just pushing user accounts and leaving an admin stub
in the slave machines that gets user accounts added to it. It prevents a
NULL or damaged passwd/group file from corrupting all your machines at
once. (It has been done, 8{( thus this approach). As I remember rdist will
allow you to run pwd_mkdb on the slaves. For security, you can use ssh as
the transport, IIRC. - Jy@
