Hi there,

I am looking to centralise authentication for a group of servers on my
network. I have a couple of questions.

As far as I can see, my options are Kerberos 4, Kerberos 5 and
NIS/YP. Have I missed any out? 

I want to authenticate logins via ssh, cvs access (over ssh), possibly
rsync and pop. Is there one solution that can cover these ?

Lastly, some of the machines are at another site and we just connect
over the Internet. We have no vpn in place, so passing plain text
passwords is not really an option. How badly does this limit my
choices ?

TIA,
