Depends on what else is going on on your network.  The following items
have been useful to me:

mod_auth_mysql:  If you've got a mysql server already running with
this info in it, this is obviously easiest
mod_auth_pam: allow them to authenticate with the same user/password
they use for the system
mod_auth_passwd: same as above for non-pam systems
mod_auth_samba: Allows them to authenticate with their Windows Domain login
