Hello,
There are plenty of options, but depending on how your users connect to
the boxes will play a big role.
For example lets say the user would SSH into any one of the servers. NIS
could simple be setup, how ever NIS is not the most secure option.
You could use ldap with kerbose authentication or a PAM module and even
authenticate against M$ AD ... eewwww.
First, why do they need local accounts ??
Second figure out how they plan on connecting in the first place, if you
just want to verify a user for VPN connections and host their e-mail I
would use certificates for VPN and mysql db for virtual mail accounts.

Does anyone know any software which will allow me to accomplish the
following:
I have 2 linux boxes, each in a different geographical location. Each
with only a standard cable internet connection. I want to be able to
create users on one machine and have those users automatically created
on the other (So I want this sharing of resources in a way). I also
want to be able to separate internet traffic so that any new users will
only have the ability to go out on certain ports (To prevent abuse).
(They connect to the network from home with some kind of Windows
software, still undecided on this). I may not be explaining it in the
right way and if you don't go ahead and pick my brain I'll try to
explain it as best I can.
Does such a piece of software or series of applications exist?
Jon
