Well, in this case it's pretty much a good idea :) I'd like to company sysadmin team to be able to log in, if they change their passwords, it's not an installation problem. Customer accounts are added manually afterwards in either case. >2) unless you run fcopy recursively somewhere you need to call it for each > file. I made a script like USERS/S666 or something to write the files but there's a new problem. It doesn't authenticate, no matter what. I compared the PAM configuration and all's the same there as on the install server, as well as the file contents and permissions. Must I enable crypts manually somewhere? In which format is the default root password after fai? 16-bit MD5? So close yet so far ;) Thanks! -- mjt
