Are you MOVING the accounts, or you just want the same users to have access to 
similarly named accounts on both machines? Reason I ask is that I've got four 
PCs for my users (family), and I'm (testing) using NIS/NFS to allow them to 
log into any of four separate PCs and have the same desktop settings.
