At the risk of being flamed to death, you could use krb5 for that purpose.. Perhaps time to revive AFS? Seems that some of the issues here were solved in Transarc's/IBM's AFS that I used a while back (ok, it was a pain to run sometimes, but there's nothing per se that says you couldn't unbreak those things -- it's an implementation and availability of tools issue more than anything).
