New It is something that Linux needs to get on top of.
I regularly or semi-regularly log into ten Linux boxes, one of them my own. SSH keys help, but really solve the wrong problem.

I've worked in an NIS+ environment before. It was kinda nice, but fragile. And it was very annoying we couldn't mix FreeBSD and Linux; the NIS+ protocol is closely dependant on how the systems locally do things like password storage. No surprise, Linux and BSD diverge there.

New radius, been around forever
New That's designed for dial-in network authentication.
And is used extensively for just that. But how well does it integrate with a standard XDM login on an X window server? Maybe you're thinking of Kerberos.

New LDAP
We use LDAP and it does everything.
New NIS is much easier to manage and less fragile than NIS+
I prefer it by far.
