One Word NIS now people on this list might tell you that NIS is a security hole (well nis is try NIS+) hard to manage etc.. however I think it's great!
Better yet try LDAP LDAP is better then NIS and NT supports it in a way (active directory). Plus LDAP is a lot more powerfull then NIS but harder to configure in my opinion (maybe because I have worked with NIS soo long it's second nature to setup a NIS environment) LDAP is the future however. -------------- Brian Carpio CSG Systems Inc.
