So. I did look into NIS but it seems little problematic with different UIDs
on all users in different servers. And the thing is I don't really need to
sync passwords that much. It would be enough if there is way to just change
passwords in ftp/scp server with shell access only into other server. If
there is not this kind of solution then web-application would be ok too if
there are any? NIS would be good, but seems little heavy solution since all
that I really need right now between these servers is access for some people
to change their ftp password...
