There is something called 'nisgina' which is available over the net
and can do this. Also, SAMBA is supposed to be able to some kind
of PC authentication. I'll be looking into the SAMBA option more closely
myself. I have a bunch of NT4 PCs in Bangalore India using nisgina to
authenticate to SUN450 running Solaris with NIS. It works and even does
roaming profiles. I'm not sure how actively it is being developed,
especially since SAMBA is doing this type of stuff (only not with NIS)
