RE: [SLE] More than 1 linux servers
well not sure how much help I am but what it sounds like is you want to set up an NIS folder so that one machine wil authenticate all users. that way you wont have problems with mismatch UIDS and such. what you would do after that is just set up one machine as a file server and place all your user folders on that. hope this helps ohh yea samba you will only use if your are interfacing with a windows peer ro peer network.

What I want to do is have 2 Linux boxes acting as servers. I want users wanting the choice as to what machine to log into.
I.e., have a server chooser app before kdm, etc.
What I'm asking is that, how do I organise the files? When USER1 logs into LINUXSERV01 and then later on logs into LINUXSERV02 I want the user area to be the same.
Do I need to create homes on both machines or can I have one that "follows" the user - something which I expect Linux to do. When I was at Uni, we could do this with the HP-UX server farm. I'm assuming Linux can do the same. I assume that the home area will be set up on one machine, say LINUXSERV01 and when you log in using LINUXSERV02 (because LINUXSERV01 might be running slower due to a number of users logged in, say) then LINUXSERV02 has to map to LINUXSERV01's home area. Is this a samba set up? - Having log ins authenticated on one machine?

I have 1 Linux server which is working fine. I want to add another Linux server as part of the same domain. Is it possible to set it up so that if I logged onto either of them, either will authenticate... or do I have to set up users on the second machine seperately?
What is the best way to take advantage of 2 Linux servers? (Apart from having apache, et al on 1 and file/samba, say on another)
