Sudbury Mass. Lines: 11 To the 3 who replied, thanks for the tips on yellow pages. No one liked it. They use simple copy techniques for nitely distribution of /etc/passwd , (/etc/hosts, whatever...). Just make sure folks don't change their passwords on machines whose /etc/passwd's get rewritten nitely. YP does seem overly complex.
