rdist is your friend. Here's a nice simple rdist file to send around
the password and group files:
--cut here--
ETCFILES = ( /etc/{group,master.passwd} )
ALLHOSTS = ( ws1 ws2 ws3 )
etc:
${ETCFILES} -> ${ALLHOSTS}
install -owhole;
special /etc/master.passwd "pwd_mkdb -p /etc/master.passwd";
--cut here--
the "-owhole" option is for rdist6. if you use the stock rdist,
change it to "-w".
