Now, I'm sharing password files by exporting the /etc directory. I'm not
sure if that is a good way to do it.. Does anybody know a better way?
Adduser renames my passord sym links when I add users..

(I have sym links from /etc/passwd to /exports/etc/passwd, from 
/etc/master.passwd to /exports/etc/master.passwd ++)
