Why not use "supper" ? It is part of PSSP, but it is public domain as
well.

Thanks. I considered rdist but the problem is
A (live) and B (live) have accounts that are not on each
other, but C (failover) has accounts from both of them.
To simply rdist the password file would be to clobber the
one first copied with the second. Also, some accounts
exist on all 3 but some users may only use A and others only
use B frequently enough. Nasty business.

Paul,
I've used "rdist" for this in the past. It comes standard with most flavors
of UNIX, is easy to configure, and keeps files syncronized accross servers.
