Way to Synchronize users between 2 Freenas boxes

[tmueko]

Hi,

is there a way to synchronize the users between two freenas boxes?

My try would be to export from sqlite-database like this:

Code:

.mode insert
select * from account_bsdgroups where "bsdgrp_gid" >= "1000" AND "bsdgrp_gid" < "65533";
select * from account_bsdusers where "bsdusr_uid" >= "1000" AND "bsdusr_uid" < "65534";

on the other side I would delete the user like this

Code:

delete from account_bsdgroups where "bsdgrp_gid" >= "1000" AND "bsdgrp_gid" < "65533";
delete from account_bsdusers where "bsdusr_uid" >= "1000" AND "bsdusr_uid" < "65534";

and then feed whith the INSERS from the export. In addition there is account_bsdgroupmembership which has to be ex- and imported....

Is there a better way?

You mean aside from a directory service, i.e. LDAP? Possibly not. Though it looks like you could just drop the whole table & recreate it vs deleting all the rows & inserting everything back if you're not trying to track changes.

I don't want to touch the root-User as the Passwords differ.
