I used to use NIS even for my small LAN.  I recently got LDAP working on my
debian machine and it was relatively painless - mostly reading how to docs, and
relearning how to add users and use ldap tools - the skills os using LDAP
though are very platform independent so they are not useless skills!

I can suggest LDAP - the passwd to LDAP scripts are so easy to use now it
really takes minutes.  I have some good links

Many are debian specific Some are ALL in ONE - LDAP/SAMBA so that everything
uses LDAP.
