Replicating users from one server to other

I want to replicate users (with there passwords and home directories) on diff Linux server, reason is I have a working setup of ssh and vsftp which is being used by many users who are not contactable now, I do not know their passwords , and I dont want to reset passwords using root, because I cannot intimate them about the same.
If my Hardware crashes, I need to have same usernames with same passwords on diff server... How can I manage this?

I did this couple of year ago. It worked by just copying user related files like passwd and shadow etc. I don't remember the exact list. I was just playing with the stuff. Your case looks serious so be careful.
Please have a look at this link.

They've done the same thing but quite matured way.

Hi, We have one domain with a mixture of NT PDC's one Win2K DC (which was the first installed) and 4 Windows 2003 DC's. I created our sites as per MS documentation and created the subnets that match each site. I moved each server into its own site. I then create the Inter-site transport with IP. I create one call "All Sites" and copied all sites into it.

I have a large number of tables in a database, and I'm looking at replicating only 5 of those 4000+ tables to about 5-7 other hosts. The primary server runs 4.0.15 and would replicate to 3.23 hosts. Is this possible. Will 3.23.58 be able to get databases updates via replication from 4.0.15? Any assistance, insights, gotcha's appreciated. Thanks,

We had a two-site system go badly wrong as a result of something. The net result of this was that the publisher had to be completely reformatted and reinstalled. The server has, as a result of this, been given a different name (went from being a named instance to not being one). Currently the publisher doesn't know it's a replicating system. Is there any way to join these two together so that they just start from where they left off,...

I'm fairly new to access, so I hope this question isn't too elementary. I'm putting together a database for my office. I want the database to be accessible to 5 or 6 users on our network and so itt may be used by more than one person at the same time. I am hoping that someone can give me an idea of some of my options in facilitating this. My instinct, from fishing around in the database options, is that it might have something to do...

We're running merge replication between to SQL Server 2000 servers. The application isn't very high volume the setup is pretty vanilla (ie no filters, etc). We have a push subscription set up and we seem to replicating data between publisher and subscriber, with one exception: When we update a particular int column at the publisher, the update won't propogate to the subscriber. Updating the same column at the subscriber does result...

We have an application written for a PDA that we are switching from MS Access to Mysql. There is a central server that has all the data in a mysql database, however when we sync from the PDA it is much faster sync'ing to a local copy of the mysql database then on central server (users are remote and must VPN into server). What are the options for taking a larger mysql database and segmenting out data for a particular user (a subset of...

Hi, I'm using MySQL v5.0 and we currently have a database containing several tables with Full Text indexes. Some of these tables contain ~800,000 records of >500Kb text. While the majority of queries are selects - when we need to do Inserts to these tables they are becoming horrendously slow. If I set up an additional server - is it possible to set up a replication partnership so that the fulltext index is only present on the slave?...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
