Shared /etc/passwd file? [message #2405]

It seems to me that it should be possible to create a directory

/vz/private/common/etc/

with files such as passwd, group, hosts, etc. in it,
and then to make hard links to the appropriate locations in
the vps trees, to let the vps share these files.

Of course one would have to safeguard against race conditions
when processes in the vps try to change these files, but other
than that, it should work.

Can anyone think of a reason why this would NOT be a good idea?

Thanks,

Wolf
