    | wut do you think ?

    Are you fixed on NIS? We use LDAP and the PADL tools to hold user
    accounts. Each machine has its own system accounts (root, bin,
    nobody, etc). When I set up a new account, Fedora allows you to
    configure on install that accounts should come from LDAP. All
    accounts are instantly synced between all Linux machines. The
    advantage of this system is that you can then extend it to also act as
    a NT PDC to allow Windows machines into the mix, and Macs talk LDAP
    natively off the install also.

    Very flexible design for your network logins.

    As for files available across multiple machines, I would look into
    autohome. Pick whichever machine hold the LDAP server, and also have
    it hold your file store. Then by using automount, your home drives
    are stored once only.

    I hope I understood your question. When sharing files like this, it
    is best to figure one machine as a server, and not get all caught up
    in clustering unless you are trying to increase uptime of network
    services.
