Good answer but I can't agree on the NIS part.. NIS is plain text over the network and is deprecated for a long time. Sun is talking about dropping support, HP the same and even in the Linux camp there is some talk about taking NIS support out of the standard distributions. Add to that the fact that ldap is becoming easier and easier to set up, you should probably look that way...

I could not agree more.NIS must die.Use LDAP.There is no reason to use NIS or NIS+ in the enterprise.Google will provide plently of good result to integrate NFS with OpenLDAP and automount.
