Another person already suggested NIS. A more modern, scalable, and
flexible alternative is an LDAP database. If your needs are very simple,
though NIS may be a quicker fix. For basic LDAP info, see the OpenLDAP HOWTO at
  http://www.linuxdoc.org
For more detailed info on OpenLDAP on Debian, see the whitepaper at

Good luck!
