Re: Syncing Passwords on 2 servers
Say a file was owned be user METM and Group VISIB. In the passwd file these are 102,103.
Does the system uses the numbers or the names to keep things straight.
Meaning if I copy the passwd file to the Standby server and the UID Nos do not match will this be a problem now. Right now some of then do not match on the 2 servers.

Re: Syncing Passwords on 2 servers
You *must* match UID <=> name between systems. BUT this would be accomplished on the first copy anyway. But it's also possible that then you'll have files owned by now non-existent UIDS & you'd have to find & change them all. So map out the name to UID before changing so you know what to change & to whom.

Re: Syncing Passwords on 2 servers
I have to make the Standby servers UID match the Primary served first. Most match now.
If I understand your messages, I can change the UID's that do not match on the standby box and change the ownership on the few files that they own.
Once done, I should beable to copy the passwd, group and User's directories and I should be set to keeping then in sync.

Re: Syncing Passwords on 2 servers
Again you have cleared up my thoughts.
You have saved me more work. That is right after I do some more things.

Re: Syncing Passwords on 2 servers
I had one last thought: I don't think my suggestion about the find command will work so you'll need to do it either by home directory or by pre-building a list of files for each user (the find command could be used for this, though).
Good luck,
Pete
