Solaris 10 Zone Administration.

Hey now!

I am new to Solaris 10 (at least to using Zones on it)

I have just been handed a bunch of servers with zones already created. and I am adding users, setting up .bash_profile and .bashrc scripts.

Does anyone know a way to do things like user adds on all the non-global zones at once? Is this possible? Or do i have to log into each zone as if it were a separate server?

Also, as far as the .bashrc, I know I can propagate it to each user's /home directory, but then I have to do a chown on each one afterward. Is there any way I can place it into the user's /home directory and take on that users ownerships?

I have played around using for loops to reach down into the zones to gather information, as in the for loop below, but executing commands and chowning files adds more complexity than I am comfortable with as far as scripting goes:

# for i in `ls /export/home/zones`
> do
> zlogin $i hostname
> zlogin $i ifconfig -a
> done

thanks in advance!

-Bob
