I am looking at the best way to Sync User accounts between one Redhat server to another.
Currently I have rsync, syncing the directories and such. But I need user accounts which are created or changed (including passwords and home directories) on Box A to be copied to Box B - say every night.
Both Servers are on the same network and will be going over a secured connection (not the internet).

Well, rsync should be able to do all that ok. I'd recommend using rsync over ssh using authorised keys for the passwd and shadow files.
Ideally you wouldn't login as root remotely (ie direct copy), but that would mean setting up a user with sudo that could be triggered to move the files into /etc after they've been uploaded.

Ok, sounds simple enough as I am already familiar with rsync etc.
