We are in the process of doing exactly the same thing (using cyclades, too.) People on this list have suggested using NIS, and it looks to me like the best way to go. As I write this, I'm setting it up. When it get if working, I'll send you a message explaining how we got it to work. Until then, you can look up info on it by doing a 'man yp'. Good Luck!
