Hey All

What is the equivilant of romaing profiles in windows server for Unix/Linux?

Or how would i go about storing user accounts in a centralise location on the network so regardless of what machine users log onto on the network, they have the same desktop experiance?

Thanks

Most sites will use OpenLDAP for this. FWIW, Windows' Directory Server is based upon it, and they can be made to work together if necessary, for a site-wide single sign-on capability, even with a mix of Windows and Linux machines. My organization does that. I can install a RedHat or other Linux system and use my normal company login credentials to log onto the Linux system.
