You have two options here:
1. AuthBy SYSTEM - if your system is configured with NIS (or NIS+), this module
will transparently ask the host operating system for the username and password
information and the system will deal with it
2. AuthBy NISPLUS - if you are running NIS+, you can use this module that will
call NIS+ directly
The reason you might prefer AuthBy SYSTEM is that you can change the underlying
system authentication method but you don't have to change the Radiator
configuration file. Most UNIX systems these days include NIS+ support.
See sections 6.31. and 6.33 in the Radiator 2.14.1 reference manual.
