Those files completely under the control of the sysadmin (aka "you"), so you can put whatever you want in those files. In my case, I think I wrote a script which generates those two files from the real system files, but it changes the userid and group names. In my case I went with fake userid's which were the first-and-last letters of the real userid, followed by the UID. That way there's some helpful information there for the people who *do* have access to the passwd info for that machine, but there isn't much info for others. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = dro...@rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or g...@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy, NY; USA _______________________________________________ freebsd-security@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-security To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-security-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
