If you look at NIS (aka YP), all it is used for, is to replicate various system configuration files between machines and to keep them in sync.

Setup another private public key pair for the pluto_xxxx users, and you have the ability to connect to any of the moons.

Another as in additional or as in replacement?

[JaseP]

Can someone point me to the scripts that touch NIS user setup in the system?

I'm interested in looking at the scripts involved in setup/installation and post-setup user creation/deletion...
I've looked at/through the SVN,...

http://svn.linuxmce.org/svn/branches/LinuxMCE-1004/

... and I can't find any scripts/source code/etc for it... Lot's of stuff there,... I don't know where to look. I'm lost.

Thanks.

look in src/BootScripts

and I meant additional private/public pair. atm we only have one for the user root.

[JaseP]

Thanks,...

Looks like the bulk of what I'm going to be needing to examine is in SetupUsers_Homes.sh and the templates subdirectory, particularly nis-client.template... correct?! Right track?!

[Marie.O]

I would like at everything that remotely contains the word users in the filename in /usr/pluto/bin and try to understand what each does.

[JaseP]

Thanks,...


Posde, you have any "special" concerns within the /usr/pluto/bin directory?!

OK there are only 4...
RemoveUser.sh
SetupUsers.sh
SetupUsers_Homes.sh, &
generate_users_voicemenu.pl

Am I missing anything?!

I had a spelling error. My brain wanted to write "look", my fingers preferred "like"
