- Start date
you can remotely copy password file using rcp . Put this entry in cron.
You can use rdist to copy your password file in cron i.e.
/home/rdist.sh
in rdist.sh
print " copying password file " >> $LOGFILE
/usr/bin/rdist -f /home/passfile.cp
in passfile.cp
/etc/passwd -> (remote host)
install -R;
man rdist
If you are using NIS , you can do it this way aswell.
