OK so I'm a Top-Posting Netware Nut, however novell has eDirectory. You
can do more with eDirectory than OpenLDAP, you can still talk to the
directory using LDAP. And it's free, you are given a licence for
100,000 objects in the tree, then if you need more you just ask for a
100,000 user booster. It runs on RedHat, win2000, SuSE. And a few other
*unix platforms as well.

Not only is NIS not kosher, it's unfit for human consumption, Jew or
not.
Use LDAP. It takes quite a bit of effort to wrap your head around it
when
you first get started. Plan to redo your setup at least three times in
the
first week (ie, don't commit everything over to it all at once). But
once
you get it down, it's amazingly powerful.
That is, until the OpenLDAP guys go and break something again.
