If I want two computers to share the same user information would I just blow away the /usr partition by mounting a nfs partition named /usr ? what about /etc/passwd and /etc/group ? Do you usally just copy them over or link them somehow? I suspect many of these questions would proably be easier if I just did it then saw what happened (burning complete backups now) but I thought I'd ask around first (and at least *feel* safer) Carl Parrish
