At my workplace we have a linux server-based NIS/NFS infrastructure with 
about 200 OS X clients using NFS home directories and NIS authentication, 
and it all works pretty well.  If it's already set up, there's no reason 
not to use it. 

You don't necessarily have to use NIS, but it does make some things much 
easier.  Matt Gillen's post has a good explanation why.
