I would say LDAP with SSL is your best bet.  Kerberos is a pain to 
implement/maintain.  NIS is inherently insecure.  NIS+ is better, but 
still a pain, and i don't think Linux NIS+ support is any good.

See www.padl.com.  They are the guys that maintain the pam_ldap module, 
and have lots of LDAP info in general.  Also i think the Linux LDAP howto 
covers this (using OpenLDAP).  We use eDirectory, but LDAP is LDAP. :)
On Redhat, use authconfig to set it up once your directory is running.  
It'll be changing some stuff in /etc/nsswitch and /etc/pam.d/system-auth.
