Date: Mon, 8 Mar 1999 14:05:24 +0200 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2232.9) Content-Type: text/plain Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have two machines... one I use for mail and the other one I use for games and stuff (ftp).... My friends ftp to the games machine to download and upload a lot of stuff. I create a lot of user accounts daily and a couple of the users need change the passwd's quite often and I have disabled telnet access to both machines. How do I synchronise user accounts on both machines, say have an update every hour or so. Can somebody point me to the howto's? One thing that I forgot to mention is that one machine is a linux machine and the other FreeBSD. I will be adding another machine to the lot (Solaris 7). I am a newbie to Unix so please be forgiving.
