...rocess to have a coexisting user which belongs in NIS & as well as /etc/passwd. We have NIS clients (yp running) on all host servers. So when running puppet is fails to add or modify user, bcos the user already exists in NIS. Eg: A user pcruise is an existing NIS user. When using useradd or puppet(which in turn does useradd/usermod) fails bcos it finds already a user in NIS. So is there any way I can have a user belong to NIS & /etc/passwd. NOTE: I know its more of a UNIX question rather then puppet. Thanks for any info. -- Deepak ________________________...

...bly out of an old habit, since I've been a long-time Slackware user before. But now I wanted to dig a bit deeper, and some details puzzle me. Whereas on Slackware, 'adduser' is an interactive shell script to create a user so that basically you don't have to memorize all the 'useradd' switches, CentOS' 'adduser' is a mere symbolic link to 'useradd'. But when I add a new user (# adduser newuser), I don't use any switches, say to specify the shell, the home directory, the password expiration delay, etcetera. I understand that it is Red Hat (CentOS)...
