Personally, if I had an array of systems that needed the same data on each disk, and I couldn't use something like NFS, I'd be setting up rsync. When I worked at turbolinux, we were using rsync to syncronize the passwd and shadow files among the servers, it was a cool hack that didnt require NIS. There will be a lag in things being sync'd, but atleast the user wouldn't have to sftp the file to each server. If the user did have to sftp, there would probably be even more lag due to the probably of them transfering to one server at a time and having to type in their password. -miah On Fri, Aug 06, 2004 at 07:22:53PM -0400, Jeff Kinz wrote: > On Fri, Aug 06, 2004 at 04:12:30PM -0400, gboyce at badbelly.com wrote: > > On Fri, 6 Aug 2004, Jeff Kinz wrote: > > > Looks like you want a VPN: > > > http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/VPN-HOWTO.html > > > (This only works with Linux versions from 1991 and later.. :) > > > > > > I reccomend using ssh and scp instead of ftp based utilities. > > > > sftp works well, and should exist on any machine running a recent version > > of openssh. > > yup, sftp is preferable to plain ftp as well.
