I want to set up a centralized login-system where I can walk to a

NFS?). When I log out on that machine the home-dir must be synchronized
with the server, so that I can walk to another machine and have my
home-dir available after logging in.
For the login I guess kerberos or ldap would do the trick, but how would
one setup the home-dir thing? Is it possible to integrate as a pam-module?
As you mentioned... NFS will do the trick. All the client machines can
mount home directories (or even the entire /home) from your NFS server.
There is no synch'ing involved... changes to the filesystem are "live".

Allso look at NIS or LDAP for managing user accounts.
