Wonder if...i can do that. If i were to change the password for Server A and it will update Server B. Which i want same password for all servers.

Server A is Office Automation server while Server B is mail relaying server.

If u want the same password for all servers u just can distribute /etc/shadow, passwd, group among them. But it's seams to me to be ugly solution.

The other way is to make smt. like authentication server and make other servers to authenticate through it. It's depend on u but I know samba doing this well. BTW there are other solutions of this kind.

Sounds to me like you want to use NIS.
