Ah thanks, you were thinking NIS networked shared database. I was thinking, say if I would give you an account on my box "Luk Claes" would compute to say ID 14314, the same as on your system. Independent from any type of networked setup. Not a 100% sync, since any conflicts will need to be resolved, but quite good for systems with sparse users. Also for reinstalling/replacing systems, because it makes the IDs independent from the order in which they were created.
