2 E-smith V5 on the same lan
«

Hi,
I am thinking of setting up 2 E-smith boxes on my Lan one for my VPN and the other for my email.
My worry is how can i sync the users between among the 2 boxes?
I will be using one of the boxes as the PDC of the Lan (i know how to achieve this).
Is there any howto in deploying 2 e-smith boxes on the same LAN.
Please advice.
Thanks.

Hi,
The only way you could sync the users, is schedule a CRON job, to copy /etc/passwd & /etc/smbpasswd from the PDC to the other e-smith server.

Fortunately not true
, as one can use NIS to sync users/group info
Have a look at
http://www.e-smith.org/docs/howto/nis-howto.html
, which states:
"NIS is a directory service that provides configuration information to other UNIX or Linux computer systems. If you have a network with Linux/UNIX clients, NIS allows you to synchronize user and group account information between your e-smith server and those clients".
(or : between e-smith servers )
