I have tried NIS which did not work because of portmap. Several other solutions do not offer a way to manage an /etc/group replacement. NIS is quite what I am looking for, except - it does not work. Did anyone find a way to centrally manage a userbase on a machine running a bunch of jails which offers /etc/passwd and /etc/group replacement? Thanks a lot in advance /ch -- "Contrary to popular belief, Unix is user friendly. It just happens to be selective about who it makes friends with."
