You can have centralized authentication using LDAP or NIS. IIRC, both
are covered in the Radhat Official Guides (Reference and Customization).
Kerberos might also do what you want, but I'm not quite sure, since I've
never used it.

In any case, I think the biggest issue you will face is migrating user
logins with their passwords. After you are done, you could post your
experience on the subject.
