Well I've ben drinking all aternoon at the kids school BBQ, so a pich of

But you are looking at something along the lines of NIS and NFS.
So a sinlgle login would access the same filesystem and therefore the same
files. NIS is a bit antiquated these days, but if its for your own
personal stuff on your internal lan/han then why not?
