Re: [gentoo-user] Centralized user authentication

[Frank J. Mattia]

In a similar topic on slashdot i posed the same question.  the general 
concensus is NIS but if there is an open alternative i would love to 
hear about it.  my comment on slashdot (and all subsequent replys) are 
at

i think thats the first time ive ever used cheers in a salutation.  and 
if anyone knows of a better name for the closing part of a letter (other 
than salutation) - please, for the love of rediwhip...  tell me.  i've 
been racking my brain - and google - to no avail.

I am wanting to setup some form of Centralized user authentication for 
my home gentoo network and was wondering what ppl here recommend.
I have had a bit of a look at NIS, and OpenLDAP. NIS from what i have 
read seams to be a bit insecure and outdated, and OpenLDAP seams to be 
over kill.

Would really like to hear ppls recommendation and comments, thanks
