Bind softly instead of hard. Caveats are same as NFS soft vs. hard binding. And yeah, files should probably be first.
The task I was given included: unify admin access to the boxes using a directory service. If you have local files in nsswitch.conf first, it looks for admin passwords there first.. So it defeats the purpose. I abandoned the whole idea and went for ssh keys instead, I think. Regards Peter
