in order of increasing Network size

1. a script of scp commands  eg:
   for f in list of hosts; scp file ${f} ....

2. rsync, unison scripts

3. NIS 

4. LDAP  (What? LDAP? How does that help? 
	ans: you can put anything you want in LDAP.)

ymWv!  (Your mileage WILL vary)

Also - Look at the SAGE proceedings for excellent info on these
and other Sysadmin topics
