Or you could go the LDAP route. I'm trying to set that up right now, as I get the time. It's supposed to be lots better than NIS, after you get it all set up, although I'm not finding it the easiest thing to get my head around.
But it can be a bear to get your head around. If the original poster didn't want to put in NIS for 7 clients,
they're certainly not going to want to attempt LDAP.. :)
NIS is easy.
