Users on multiple PC's

I've got three PC's in my house all networked via
Ethernet. I'd like to have each one set up so any member
of my family can use any of the PC's when they need to.

Does this mean that I need to set up user accounts on all
the machines or can I just have a list of users on one
machine that can be accessed by the other PC's?

Thanks

Assuming that all of your machines are running Windows 95/98/Me/XP,
you need to set up user accounts on all of the machines.

If you had a machine running a server operating system (Windows
NT/2000/2003 Server), you could have it maintain a single list of user
accounts.
