kerberos offers a similar set of services, NTLM authentication(using PAM plugs, etc on the unix side), also offers a similar set of possibilities. There are many SSI technologies out there, many with technologies like LDAP at their core(the win2k model comes to mind). As for "more secure", i don't know. i'd think that NIS gets hammered on as much if not more than any of these other technologies.(not that i'm advocating NIS over any of the others). If you want to add another level of access control, consider adding a hadware compnent, like RSA's cardkey solution, or any of a variety of "smartcard" technologies.

Due to the security implications created through using NIS (Network Information Services) could anyone recommend any alternatives ? Thanks
