No, I do like that process and will look into all the values that are set.

Quote:
I did add "smitty user" in my sudo file and ran it as a non root user and it populated all the fields just as if I run it as root. So if you have it set up the same way then maybe it's some sort of sudo bug.
When you did this, did you see the process through to the end then go back and look at the created user? The reason I ask is this. When I do that, it appears as all the values are set. I type in the username and press enter, then when I look at the created user, its missing everything except the username. Just curious more than anything.

DESCRIPTION

	 xen-create-nfs is a simple script which allows you to easily create
	a single configuration file for a Xen guest which will mount its remote
	filesystem over an NFS root.

	 It doesn't create any images to use for local storage, and it doesn't
	support more than the minimal number of options to completement the
	existing xen-create-image script, however it is hopefully useful.

REFERENCE

	 For more details on what you'll need to support NFS-root Xen guests
	the following article, written by the author, might be useful:
