Ok, I havn't quite figured this out, but, I have my systems configured with NIS/NFS, but since the users don't actually exist on the workstations except thru the NIS passwd file how exactly would crontab work? Would the crontabs be deleted when ever the workstation is disconnected from the server? What are your opinions? Also, if I have the crontab set up on the server side and the user makes an entry on the workstation side, would it overide the server side? Has anyone successfully managed to push the crontabs via NIS? or is the user forced to set up crontabs on every workstation he uses? PS. I'll be gone till Sunday nite just thought I would leave everyone something to ponder. -- S.Toms - tomas@primenet.com - www.primenet.com/~tomas SuSE Linux v6.3+ - Kernel 2.2.14 -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
