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.
