You can rsync your passwd/shadow files from the master periodically, and use/etc/nisswitch.conf to say that you want to try NIS first, local login second.
Hell, if you're going to go to the trouble, you can just use the rsync method and not NIS! But I digress...
You can set up a Jabber server, connect securely to it from Jabber IM clients, and (if you wish) have the server translate out to AIM, MSN, Y!M, etc.
Translations to other services will not be secure, of course, unless the external server supported such a thing ( to my knowledge Y!, MS and AOL do not ).
Ion supports tabs as well as windows. Look
at the screenshots on the website.
Ion does not force you to not have more than one
application of the same size on one screen; it simply attaches more tabs to a frame of the same size in this case.
