I don't get you, what do you mean?

I think as long as they're all part of the same domain or workgroup you should be ok.

Hi All,
Thanks for your replies. What I mean is, Can I use only single user name and password to login to one linux server and use resources on other two linux server without loging in to these two servers. It is something like windows domain sturcture. With single authentication can use server firm resources. Thanks in advance for reply.

Well, you could setup the same user/passwd on each linux server, so they just appear to be different shares on the same server using Samba.
Or, you could Samba to one and have the other 2 export via NFS to the first server and share those under Samba.

Doesn't NFS provide for this?

You're thinking of NIS. That should do it, but the Unix Sys Admin Handbook reckons NIS is bit of a security risk.
Guess its up to you.

Yes, NIS shouldn't be used on anything but an isolated network.
