Synchronize the user folder between Macs via FileVault
When I first installed Tiger, I noticed the menu extra called "HomeSync" in the /System/Core Services/Menu Extras folder.
If you navigate to this folder and double-click the menu extra, you'll see the little house icons in the menu bar and the list of items will show the sync status, an action to sync now and also the prefs... these prefs will eventually appear in the accounts preference pane. I can only hope that this feature is fully implemented in Leopard... it was long touted at the beginning of Tiger's development and then dropped right before the final GM came around.
