Sure. Use LDAP. It works fine with PAM, and the CVS version of Samba
(soon-to-be 2.2) can use it too.
Much simpler and less painful than NIS. I use it here at work without a
problem.

Well, there is OpenAFS from IBM. I haven't used it, but it might be
worth checking out. Then there is Coda, and Intermezzo, which are
supposed to resolve some of NFS's flakiness.
However, IMHO, if all you need is sharing files between Linux machines,
use the newest NFSv3 that comes with the latest kernels.
