 Hi list,

   few years later I setup a environment which shares the /home using

It never was. It was the _only_ one for some time.

Depending on the size of your network, I would look into OpenAFS, Kerberos 
and LDAP for file, authorization and authentication services.

 OK. And about NFS? Is still the best one for file share proposes? What
 about CIFS?

NFSv3 over TCP is pretty solid, but if you're in a mixed Windows-Linux
environment you might want to look into CIFS.

Thanks,

Hi list,

 few years later I setup a environment which shares the /home using
NFS for the users and the authentication method was NIS. Is this still
the best solution?
 My current environment is based on LDAP where all services use it. I
configured PAM+NSSwitch, Postfix, and so on. Now, I want linux client
workstations be authenticated remotely on my LDAP server and mount the
users home. What do you recommend?

Thanks,

Leandro.

You can use LDAP + pam_ldap for auth, I think there's a guide on gentoo.org.
