At least that is what I am aiming for.

I dunno about you, but the best I can do so far is the KRB5 and SAMBA.

NIS is tricky... I have to do some data covnersion (or duplication) trickery to get it to work. Which of course... I haven't gotten to work yet.

My next thing after the NIS is to get AFS running so I don't have to worry about all the UID and GID numbers and anything else in ACL or what have to work properly.

Cheers.
