Can I actually synchronize the users list in Samba server to the Sendmail server automatically instead of adding in manually. Please help! |

Have you thinked about using Yellow Pages (NIS)?
This is great and allow you to set user & group accounts and permissions for your entire network at one location.
Another option was mentioned before....
Put some cron lines in your servers to exchange /etc files
if any of them was modified.
I?ve did this before and code a script to cron table that runs every 15 min and checks if /etc/passwd /etc/groups or /etc/shadow were modified in the past 15 min and copy only the modified ones.
