Lord no... even if you setup a backup nis server, an ailing master server can really screw up your day. I think I thought of a solution though. root cronjob to pgp encrypt the file, change perms so that it can be accessed by a user that is allowed to copy the file to the target host. The file is in encrypted using the public key of root the target machine, so only root on the target will be able to pgp extract the file. ~~ Andy Harrison ah##@httpsite.com ICQ: 123472 AIM/Y!: AHinMaine [full headers for details] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.5.8 iQCVAwUBPtOuz1PEkLgodAWVAQEupQQAhNGfV9yIg7jqM9D3VuPAfHy6XgcC0QnD hPx5J0+uZZy9mpfBGSjn930To+YUFBZp+h/JcfX80rBFdTs+gSXk/olug7EWkhNp 6Uk+HazQeSN7347Rn5Ln0Pcagiv/Ua3zwQuXISJKxmUnHecufkMrOyc9wMtPbDwL xmFl3gzrq38= =HAT1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
