You can setup NFS server and NIS or NIS+ on the same box, setup maps for
automounter of the home directory.
Use NIS or NIS+ for authentication, edit your nsswitch.conf of other
machines..on the passwd line put nis instead of files.
Check www.linuxdoc.org for documentation.

Subject: [plug] NFS Home - how?
I'm looking at a new arrangement for our networks in our
building:
I want the main file server to serve /home as the /home for
all other machines.
Problem: how to synchronize passwords and ID#s.
What's the good solution and how?
NIS+, LDAP, etc...
