Not that I have (any) experience with distributed Unix environments, but I always thought that this kind of thing was managed using NIS for the user account data and an NFS-exported filestore for home directories. Nowadays I guess you would use LDAP in place of NIS (as John suggests), and perhaps another distributed filesystem such as Coda or GPFS instead of NFS. Cheers, Vic Cross
