 Thanks. Looks like I need to find a good NIS instruction manual...
  

   I would go with LDAP.  It's not as complicated as some would make it. 
   Here is a very well written howto (redhat/fedora centered) that will walk
   you through the entire process.

 I'm assuming that NIS or NIS+ is the easiest to install and use? Which
 is best between the two?
    

 I think NIS is the simplest to get up and running.  It doesn't offer the
 security features NIS+ does however, but if your network is internal-only,
 this may not be an issue.

 I think the next logical step beyond NIS would be LDAP.  Bypass NIS+
 completely...
