I want to maintain passwd files for users in my virtual tree. Is it possible to do this with the passwd utility ? For example, I want to manage /etc/virtual/penguinpowered.org/passwd I can't find a flag telling it to work with a file outside of /etc Regards, -- Wayne Pascoe A good sysadmin always carries around a few feet of fiber.
