Coming from a windows environemnt ldap may be the best solution, exspecialy if you use ssl for your connections.
Here is a link to Directory Administrator. This program will help you maintain an ldap environment for your company.

aha, so is there any "PDC" equivalent for linux? is it NFS? NIS?
Of those two, NIS is the closest -- a primary domain controller is mostly to do with authentication. It's a little more than NIS though since you're talking about establishing trust relationships between machines in a domain rather than just central storage of the authentication database. There isn't really an equivalent for a PDC in Unix/Linux, but the idea of a domain is most closely linked to kerberos.
NIS ok... but what is kerberos?
as i googled 'Kerberos: The Network Authentication Protocol'
(dumb question sorry)
so if i will implement 'NIS' in our network, am i implementing
'Kerberos' too?
