"Synchronize" users/groups

Hello!

I'm hoping for a bit of advice on this...we have a need to synchronize users/groups between a couple servers in widely separated locations (our main DC and a disaster-recovery DC). This only has to happen, at this stage, with one server in each location, and the synchronization only has to happen in one direction (from main to disaster-recovery). We don't want to use directory authentication...this needs to be a synchronization based on the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files.

This seems to me something that others would have needed to solve in the past. Has anyone here implemented a solution for this?

Thanks!
