Maybe you should look at LDAP or an equivalent solution. Especially if you are going to set up other machines with large user-bases it will simplify management a lot. With LDAP you can manage users, groups, group-membership and the like in a central directory. You can even configure sendmail, autofs and other services to lookup data in the directory (which makes the whole thing - at least imho - much easier and straightforward to manage).
