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.
