Although i see your reasoning and example, i'm not sure why you are not happy to keep system accounts stored in /etc/passwd, as afterall they refer to the local system. There doesnt seem to be any great benefit keeping these accounts in a distributed database such as ldap, or is there? I'm implementing a ldap directory server for user data and i had planned to keep system accounts local. Please share you views Cheers -- Rob 'robster' Bradford http://robster.org.uk
