AW: need help re: script

[Rakesh Gupta]

Hi,
   A simple solution would be to create an account on the server node
and then do  a  copy of /etc/passwd /etc/groups /etc/shadow ( use rcp or
scp or ssh ) to the cleint node for creating and managing account.

  For shutdown write another script ( basically run shutdown using ssh on
the cleint ) wait for sufficient time and the shutdown the server. I have
the scripts for this and could mail you if you are interested.

Regards
rakesh
