A problem I had while testing 1.3 pre-release may be related. I have some nfs mounts as no_root_squash for mirroring and other purposes. I couldn't access them properly from the test machine with shadow passwords enabled. When I have time, I'm going to put a test partition on each machine and see what happens when all use shadow, when all don't, and when only some do. I guess shadowconfig on and shadowconfig off are supposed to let you bounce back and forth. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Paul Wade Greenbush Technologies Corporation + + mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.greenbush.com/ + +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ + http://www.greenbush.com/cds.html Special Linux CD offer + +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
