There are several possibilities for doing that, but NIS (formerly known as YP "yellow pages") is probably the easiest and quickest thing for you to set up. See http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/nis.html for instructions. Also the yp(8) and ypinit(8) man pages are quite useful.
