If its needed, I think NIS can help, or other > solutions? i'm running afs and nis+ until now i don't have to synchronise passwords. i do have my nis tables with all the user information including the home dir. (set to /afs/<cell>/home/<username>) the only thing i have to take care of when creating new users is to give them the same user name and user id in nis- and afs-space. their initial passwords are the same but if they change one of them they have to enter both passwords upon login (solaris asks for the login(NIS+) password and then for the afs password) if the pam setup works correctly. in this case they have to remember two passwords so it's advisable to have both passwords being the same. unfortunately i haven't found a way to change both passwords at once so they have to do that manually.
