Funny, I've just done something semilar, a complete NFS server on a floppy, including mirroring, quota, NIS etc. Having NIS takes care of the passwd problems, and leaves room for the symbol db's so ps & friends works. Its on a MFS filesys though, buts that more for practical reasons, reset the sucker and everything works again, and it can be on a writeprotected floppy (can you say sysadm proof : )). -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Søren Schmidt (sos@FreeBSD.org) FreeBSD Core Team Even more code to hack -- will it ever end ..
