Central Password Management

Hi,
I have 7 Caldera OpenLunix 3.1.1 boxes   which each one has different function in our organization.I would like to manage password centerally so one user could be able to reach the each machine with its own rights that sysadm set for him..As I heard ldap/openldap  can do this but I wonder how?
thanx

use NIS/NIS+ to distribute the password, group and shadow files
Or setup an (Open)LDAP and switch to LDAP authentification with pam.

I prefer much deeper info,let's say a howto or an article or a web address as a reference.
If you look at my mail I am saying "I wonder how" at the last centese..
Am I wrong?
thanx

thanx for your answer..
As most of the documents wrote ldap is getting popular and has much cross platform support such as Apache and bla bla.
So it means ldap will me my start point.
thanx again..
