I'm also curious about this one.  With the exception of dumb terminals and a
scary LDAP setup once that I didn't really understand in the slightest, I
haven't done this with unix.  However, at a friend's location downtown, we
have about 10 computers which we keep identical copies of /etc/passwd on.

I like the idea of a single authentication server...

I also would like to be able to login without it (in the event of a computer
being off the network).

Thanks,
