Integrated accounts (between apps and machines)

["Brian Johnson" <bjohnson@jecinc.on.ca>]

I'm looking for some advice on ways to set up user accounts for use on 
multiple machines. 
 
I'm getting tired of manually trying to sync multiple servers. 
 
The apps most used are unix accounts (file sharing and email), samba (file 
sharing), and phpgroupware (web based groupware with db backend) 
 
I tried LDAP about a year ago and at that time unix services and samba 
could be authenticated by LDAP but used different schemas and there was no 
sharing of the info.  There was also only very brief info on how to do it. 
 
My machines are a mix of Redhat 7.3 and 8.0 
 
I'm currently looking at server setups - is there a different approach for 
servers and workstations?
