Hi, all. Right now our NIS setup uses the host server's own local config files for the map sources -- /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, and so forth. I'm trying to migrate that so that the sources live in /var/yp/src, but I've run up against one problem. How to maintain the shadow files? "pwconv" is hard-wired to write to /etc. I could rewrite it, I suppose, but that sounds like a job for the experts. Does NIS handle this itself somehow? Am I missing something? Where to RTFM? Additionally, how hard would it be to hack Red Hat's /usr/sbin/adduser program to be NIS-aware? Thanks, -m _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
