	I have had two uVaxen for awhile & have been adding users
separately to each system. I haven't thought it was the most efficient
but.. 
 	Now, however I have 5 HP 9000/300 systems nested in one facility
and I would like to keep the /etc/passwd files & user accounts consistent
among the systems. I have a couple of adduser scripts from different
sources but I was curious what others have done to cope with this problem.
	Ideally I would like to adduser on a master node & have that account
installed on the others automatically, with apprpriate .forward files, etc.
thanks,
