Using LDAP, you could manage accounts and mounts through the directory, 
completely eliminating the need to create accounts on several machines.

AFAIK, pserver is too dumb to use LDAP, so you're still stuck with SSH. 
However, using ssh-keyagent can reduce the number of times you must type 
a password to one.
