It is really not as tough as it is made out to be. ;-)
Then you would have the same userid password desktop and files on both boxes. Add ssh and you can then run gui applications on your remote box but have the interface show up on yours. No additional setup is required for this trick aside from ssh. This might save you some trips.
Of course if you want something more secure than NIS to authenticate your userid you might consider LDAP. There is a detailed and up-to-date HOWTO available from Mandrake on how to accomplish authentication with LDAP. NIS is easier to set up.

I use 2 computers on the same network (about 15min walk). I use korganizer one one of them but the time that i spend on each machine is about 50/50. I need a way that i could periodically sync the file. Would NFS be the best way to do this? Does Korg. use file locking if its open in both places? Or would a script that would check the the save time and sync accordingly be better?
Thanks
