NIS/NIS+, or LDAP are your best bets.

I personally haven't tinkered alot with LDAP, but it appears as though
it's becoming the defacto centralized user management system.

I'm fond of NIS+, though it has the tendency to be a bloody pain to get up
and running.

NIS/NIS+ is built into 5.6.  LDAP you'd need to do some additional work to
get up and running, IIRC.
