Hi there Is there any way that I can move passwd and shadow from the /etc directory to another - (preferably /usr/local/etc)? The context of the question is that I am running NIS to provide logins to over 150 computers. However, none of the computers have a hard drive. The server NFS mounts what is necessary to run the lab. If I could move passwd and shadow, I would not need to run NIS. I cannot simply NFS mount /etc, as each computers needs its own /etc files, but I already NFS mount /usr to all computers. Thanks for any suggestions. Sue McGlashan email sue@cs.wits.ac.za Phone: +27 (011) 717 6191
