Centralized ID administration is nice. I've dabbled with the following:
· Manual UID & GID management
· Copying passwd/shadow & group/gshadow files (bad idea, would
recommend against)
· LDAP
· NIS(+)
· AD via Samba
There are some other options too. Hesiod and something else uses DNS as
the central directory.
I recently used LDAP + Kerberos + NFS and was quite happy with it. NFS
even used Kerberos for authentication.
