I like the Kerberos 5 suthentication scheme but i need more then authentication. I need to redistribute stuff like usernames, passwords, uids, gids, etc... I could just use NIS but dont like sensitive information to be passed around in clear text and a lack of authentication other then by hostname/ip. What other alternatives to NIS are there, preferably tied with Kerberos 5 authentication?
