NFS user account management

Here is the deal.

I am running VMware and I have two linux virtual machines in my team.
I use DHCP to allocate the IP addresses for the machines. How do I
setup NFS so I can mount /home off a master machine? Also how do I
setup user account management to store passwords on the master machine?


I investigated a bit but was confused by the hosts file. It only
allows static IP addresses. I use DHCP so if there are any experts
around here who can advise on the best method of configuration it would
be appreciated to hear input.

BTW I am using Ubuntu (latest)
