> I want to use rsync and ssh to push the passwd file (and others) as an > alternative to NIS. The question is, is it possible to have a "local" > passwd file as an extension to the pushed passwd file? 1. Can't you configure exactly that behavior using /etc/nsswitch.conf? 2. Doesn't NIS have something like that already built into it? Like, the NIS file ends with a line that begins with "+", and that tells it to consult the local password file also? Or something like that? _________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.netisland.net/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.netisland.net/mailman/listinfo/plug
