Operating Systems HP-UX "Synchronize" users/groups Post 302603601 by vbe on Thursday 1st of March 2012 12:46:16 PM
Old 03-01-2012
If I remember rsync (and rdist but not sure anymore... long time) had a possibility on not overwiting if files were indentical...Now the question is more when you are syncing, it is more to update for all users (concerned) their passwd they have changed on the master server, then update modifications like new users and groups... Till here you should not have any issues.
Removing users is different for you find yourself having to decide what to do with users files all over the system(s) so it is not wise to remove them on the master before you have decided what to do and cleanup on all slaves then master.
What we used to do e.g. new user: create on master then create the accounts where needed in urgence so the user could work immediatly not having to wait for synch...
Have a script ready for synchro you can use anytime if needed and schedule a synchor when there is minimum activity
I would go with rsync...

NAME
rpc.yppasswdd -- NIS update password file daemon SYNOPSIS
rpc.yppasswdd [-d directory] [-noshell] [-nogecos] [-nopw] [-m arg1 [arg2 ...]] DESCRIPTION
rpc.yppasswdd must be running on the NIS master server to allow users to change information in the password file. The options are as follows: -d directory Change the root directory of the password file from ``/'' to directory. It is important to create the binary database files (pwd.db and spwd.db) when using this switch or the password change will fail. The databases need to be created only once with the following command: pwd_mkdb -d directory directory/etc/master.passwd -noshell Don't allow changes of the shell field in the passwd file. -nogecos Don't allow changes of the gecos field in the passwd file. -nopw Don't allow changes of the password in the passwd file. -m arg1 [arg2 ...] Additional arguments to pass to make in /var/yp.
