Funnily enough, I am actually in complete agreement with you. When I
said "The Way of the Future" -- that should be read with a certain degree
of irony. No one is going to remove the simpler ways of doing this stuff
any time soon, because the simple way is the right way for the vast majority

Well, aside from other Unix-like systems. Certainly Linux, MacOS,
anything from Sun (which invented it), all the other BSDs, Ultrix, and
probably anything else that ends in 'ix'. It might be a bit tricky to
get running with

Interoperability. Today, with Linux, tomorrow, Windows or Mac OS X.
so not "right" but interoperable. if i do have only unix systems in LAN,
NIS is much better easier and faster.

look at gosa its a fairly well rounded ldap administration suite, probably
more then you might need, but it covers alot of the services

Hello list,
Thank you everyone for your input. I now know what to look for. Gave it a
read at NIS in the
handbook but as you guys said it's FBSD only so because of the
interoperability i think i will go with
LDAP.
