I second that.  You have to join the 21st century sometime.  LDAP is
a good choice AND you can manage the sudo file from it as well (a thing
I've found VERY useful).

NIS was invented by Sun, NIS+ expanded upon it.  Almost all Unixish
systems will support NIS/NIS+.  Most will support LDAP (Solaris, Linux,
FreeBSD, HP/UX for sure).
