Hi everybody; If this message looks a tad familiar, I posted a similar one to -questions a couple of weeks ago or so. I'm just trying again :-) Basically, I'm just looking for an easier solution for maintaining the bin and etc directories in user directories. The ~/bin directory isn't bad, as global changes to these directories are seldom at best on my system. ~/etc, however, must be updated every time the password file is changed, and I update my (ftp)motd files semi-frequently, as well. The majority of my users have ftp accounts only, (thus, chroot is done by ftpd), but there are still a few with shell accounts. Is there a way to maintain ONE copy of /bin and /etc and have it apply to all chroot'd users? Perhaps I DO need to write a script to periodically sync the home direcories' copies with my master copy. I would hope for a more elegant solution, though. Thanks again, Ryan Thompson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
