Next message: Douglas Carmichael: "[LUNI] SGI desktop for Linux"
Hey,
Has anyone hit this one before. I'm trying to share my passwd and shadow files to multiple
machines. I move /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow to a common area and symlink them back to /etc. Then
I symlink the other machines /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow to the passwd and shadow files in the
common area. All machines are trusted root on the shared area and everything works nicely.
That is until you add a newuser using useradd. Then the link is broken and /etc/passwd and
/etc/shadow are real files on the local system again. Does anyone have a better way to do this so
that this doesn't happen?
Herbie
