 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...
