X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 27 Sep 2004 16:43:30 -0000 Howdy, I've been poking through the nsswitch.conf manpage in preparation for moving some machiens to 5.3 (from 4.10). This machines participate in an NIS domain which uses netgroups. It also over-rides passwd fields (like the shell field) in certain cases. How does one do that with nsswitch.conf if I want to avoid compat mode? -T -- Page 356: Part of the charm of Unix is, all of a sudden, having a great insight and saying to yourself, "So THAT's why they did it that way." - Harley Hahn, _The Unix Companion_
