Should be no problem except for sork.  If Machine_A will accept ftp from
Machine_B, or if Machine_B nfs mounts the home partitions from Machine_A,
then vacation/forwards will work.  Passwd can be made to work in this setup,
but how easy or hard that is depends on your particular setup.

So it is all possible, but the sork part may pose some additional concerns,
all of which can be addressed one way or another.
