Put your home directories on the server and use NFS to mount them on other computers. Also, unless you're running something like NIS, you'll need to make sure user names, numbers and passwords match on all systems.

What about to mount the home dirs on the machines via NFS. You may want to take a look at (A)ndrew (F)ile (S)ystem [1], too. Hope that helps The polarizer polarizers at its best http://www.glass-polariser.com [1] http://www.psc.edu/general/filesys/afs/afs.html
