I would suggest using NIS. I currently have about 20 linux hosts that
users can use. All users are authenticated via NIS. Its pretty easy to
set up and run...

Subject: authentication question
I'm at a loss for how to do authentication well for a small group of
linux machines.
We have several linux hosts, all of which run samba, and all of which
should use a single password per user, or at least, a single password
change program which changes all passwords. Samba really wants to use a
domain server or to keep it's own password database separate from the
unix passwords.
Any suggestions on how to get these all authenticated off the same
database?
The only thing I can see to do is to turn one into a domain controller
and have everything else authenticate off that. Are there any other
alternatives?
