Hi Joe,
Just some ideas......
Set up the boxes as trusted hosts in the hosts.allow
Use a make file that is kicked by cron to rcp /etc/passwd /etc/shadow
/etc/shadow- /etc/group from your central Administration machine to the
remotes.
Setup the central Administration machine to nfs share it's /home and the
remotes to mount it as their home in the fstab. I would auto kick a script
in a cron that would baby-sit this connection (mount) as well for nfs is
not very robust.
That would do it.

PS use a safe IP structure like 192.168.1. or 10.1 for the house, you will
probably want to masquerade in the future.
