Setting Up Data in BSD Conguration Files
If you want a Mac OS X computer to get administrative data from BSD conguration
les, the data must exist in the les and must be in the format required by Mac OS X.
You might need to add, change, or reorganize data in the les. Workgroup Manager
cannot make changes to data in BSD conguration les, so you must make the
necessary modications by using a text editor or other tools.
The following table lists the names of the les and describes the content in them.
BSD conguration le Contains
/etc/master.passwd User names, passwords, IDs, primary group IDs,
and so forth
/etc/group Group names, IDs, and members
/etc/fstab NFS mounts
/etc/hosts Computer names and addresses
/etc/networks Network names and addresses
/etc/services Service names, ports, and protocols
/etc/protocols IP protocol names and numbers
/etc/rpcs Open Network Computing RPC servers
/etc/printcap Printer names and capabilities
/etc/bootparams Bootparam settings

For more information about the data required by Mac OS X directory services, see
