Hi folks, I need a common passwd file that is shared by a FreeBSD machine, Linux machine, Solaris and a SunOS machine. I do not want to use NIS. I thought of using rdist to distribute the passwd file among all these machines but could not because some of them use shadow passwd files and others don't. Also, I am not sure the passwd encryption is the same on all these platforms. More generally, the reason I am using this approach is to make the developement of code easier by using cvs. I have one machine exporting the cvs source tree and others mount it. To keep the same uids, I need to share the passwd files. Does anyone have a better suggestions? Thanks Vinay
