Thanks for the information, I didn't know there was a mention in the passwd man page - Ive just about got things sorted now after spending ages altering user id's so they don't clash *sigh* A couple of quick question.. what is the recommended way of handling users email? Does the NIS server always update the password database (/etc/passwd) as well as the yp version or can those be seperate? Thanks again. Trefor S.
