There is no problem with logging in on the console, or using a GUI. The
same password checking is done with both. If you want share the same
passwords over all the machines, you may want to check into NIS, or if
you need to share the same passwords between windows and Linux, there is
also a PAM modules that will use a Windows PDC. It is not part of the
Red Hat distrubution, but I think it is listed on Freshmeat...
You don't realy want to use nfs or smbfs to share the password file.
