Hi All


I am trying to read-only the system but having a seperate location rw


In order to do this, I want to re-locate the user account files so accounts

can still be added when in read-only mode.


I have tried doing ln -s /confs/passwd /etc/passwd etc.. but when I try to

create an account it fails with PAM or something.


Any suggestions on what I require to do this?


I've been looking but hadn't found an answer to this, likely because i'm crazy

for trying but thats the point.


Thanks


James
