NIS is the traditional way to do this, but I find it to be a pain. Many sites prefer to keep user information in an LDAP directory, which also has its issues but if you use an encrypted transport isn't too bad, and interoperates a lot better with Active Directory and RACF. There's no really *easy* way to do it, though.
