I have set the server up to act as a client to itself for the purposes of passwd changes etc. My question is this - how now do I add users. I can use 'adduser' then copy the entry out of the master.passwd into the /var/yp/master.passwd then run 'make' but wont that then revert any entries that have been changed (eg, through passwd) back to the original in the /var/yp/master.passwd - does anybody use this successfully in practice? Any help appriciated, Regards, Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
