I'm looking to move on from NIS to whatever the current fashion is for distributed authentication and auto mount for NFS filesystems. It looks like the current favorite is something based on LDAP but I could use a good how-to if one is available. So far most of the instructions make LDAP authentication look much more complicated than NIS. Hopefully I can find something that's of comparable complexity (or easier).
Suggestions on what authentication tech I should educate myself on would be greatly appreciated.
