NFS Questions


Ok, if I have 3 or 4 linux boxes and I want to make them all a part of the same "domain", per se, how would I do this. How would I set a central logon server and then have that central server replicate the account information to the other linux boxes? I don't need a full explanation, but rather a few buzzwords that I could google. Thanks in advance.

For central authentication the 2 most popular methods would be with ldap or NIS. Personally I would use ldap as it can be used to hold much more information such as address books too.
