Have a centralized password store.  Keywords for which to search:

	GSSAPI, Kerberos, KRB5, LDAP, libnss, NIS, PAM, SASL, YP

Exactly what you use depends on what you need.

Alternatively, you can use a central database to update ancillary
file... much like what Cobalts do natively and Steve suggested as
an alternate to LDAP.
