    Smile Single user account across different linux machines

    Hi,

    The situation is, if I have 4 different linux machines and I need to login to all the machines using the same user id and password. If I change the password in any of the machines, it must be reflected to the other machines too. Only login is common no resource is shared across the machines. How can i do this?



    Thanks in advance.

    You will need to run an LDAP server. One of them can run this way but it will need to be powered on. In fact you could probably have more than one replicating the same settings but ultimately one should be the primary domain server.

    What distro are you using? There might be a specific howto for doing it.
