Roaming Users on RH

[Logic]

Hi all,

I have a really basic question but I am not sure where to start to find out the answer!!!

I have 3 Linux machines 1 running Redhat 9 and 2 running Redhat 7.3. The Redhat 9 machine is used as a file server and the 7.3 machines are used for running analysis jobs.

How do I set up the file server (Redhat 9 machine) to serve usernames and passwords? All I want to do is add all users to this machine then be able to log on to both of the 7.3 machines with these user names.

In the future I will be adding more 7.3 machines and they will need to be able to user the usernames as well.

Thanks in advance for you help.

Barry....

I always wanted to try this but I don't have enough computers to make it worth while.

If you want to keep the home directories and settings etc, I'd export it via NFS as well.
