What is the "right" way to synchronize passwords between hosts?

On a medium-to-large scale, Kerberos and LDAP. On a small scale, NIS.

There are two machines set up, one FC6 and one F7, and I'd like any password changes on one to also show up on the other.

On a *tiny* scale like two machines, though, how about "remember to change
passwords in both places"?

Does it make sense to try to NFS-mount /etc/shadow from one machine on the other?

No. :)



I was just about to ask this question as well.

A small home network with a couple of laptops and desktop/servers.

I am looking at using openldap for this purpose.

I did come across this but I have not looked at it closely yet.

I want the ability to change the kids passwords and have it sync between all the computers. Or if they change their password to have it sync. Especially from/to the laptops.
