Dear ALl,

1) if i have a copy of my /etc/passwd file and the /etc/skel/shadow file
and if my current HDD crashes ..
yes, you just need the /etc/passwd , /etc/shadow , /etc/group and
/etc/gshadow for the local auth
Of course, in case of setting up a new box and integrating user
accounts, i'd prefer doing some cleaning in those files before importing
them (through vipw for for the passwd file) : i mean remove the system
accounts first
2) i would like to also know about MX records
i mean DNS server having MX with same priority n MX with different priority
i right now have a primary n secondary mail server that is dns server with
different MX records and its workin fine
if i have 2 servers with same MX priority do i need to create the smae
users on both my centos servers so tht if one server fails othe one is
operational . i do presume the above is corect or is there any other way
It depends : you can for example just have the second MX record doing
queue only for your domain and then deliver to the primary MX when he's
back online ... otherwise if you deliver mail locally on your secondary
MX server, that means two mail storages (and not in sync ....)
