Please forgive me if you have seen this before, but I haven't seen any responses, so here goes... I have a 3B2/400 ("mc3") to which are attached 20 terminals (located in one room--the "lab"). I have another 3B2/400 ("mccc") to which is attached a Telebit Trailblazer Plus modem. THe two 3B2s are connected via StarLAN, and RFS is running on the network. I have the /usr file system of mc3 mounted on /MC3-usr of mccc so that when a student calls in, he./she is logged to $HOME (via RFS). The problem occurs when a student decides to change his/her password. Then I, the friendly SA, must manually change the passwd file of the other computer. Isn't there some mechanism by which changing a passwd on one machine will automagically change it on the other? Perhaps I have my RFS login mapping set up incorrectly (it's global-transparent)?? All suggestions will be welcomed. Thanks. Pete
