I intend to install lustre file system on the systems. It does not support LDAP and need to have etc passwd/groups database. All file system clients need to have same passwd and groups so that UID and GID are the same when they contact file system server. So I am not sure, how will I manage this. Any suggestions?

Hi,
I need to maintain a same user/group list on multiples systems. Can we just copy the same passwd and groups file on all machines? If we create a new user on one system then I will need to copy this to all other systems. This is quite cumbersome. Any suggestions?
the old fashion way of doing this was NIS ... but I'm with everyone else in saying go with LDAP directory services, and further, use a NFS automount for their home directories. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
