This > solution has worked rather well for the past year or so. I'm doing something like this now. We used to use NIS, but it started spouting a lot of problems, so I tossed it. Use rdist, and specify -P /usr/local/bin/ssh on the command line so that it uses ssh instead of rsh to distribute the files, and use RSA key authentication. I just stuck it on the end of all our user modification scripts so it would automagically re-dist the files when anything was changed. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* | FreeBSD; the way computers were meant to be | * "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is * | that I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet."| * fullermd@futuresouth.com :-} MAtthew Fuller * | http://keystone.westminster.edu/~fullermd | *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
