hi ya'll,

so..i'm trying to understand the way fcopy works in the fai's scripts dir.  
i'm friggen confused.  i'm trying to have NIS setup automatically, but
haven't been able to copy the files I want over.  i'd like to copy my
predefined files such as passwd, groups, and shadow onto the new system.
my files are currently located on the NFS mount directory, which I don't
think is the correct place.

from what I understand, to do:

  fcopy -i /etc/passwd /etc/groups /etc/shadow

I need the directories in FAI/files/etc/{passwd,groups,shadow} and 
in each, I need to have a file with the name of the class that
is installed.  Is that correct?  ...and the contents of the
file are the contents of my actual file (ie, my /etc/passwd)


tia,
dan
