Subject: NIS replacement?

Is there anything better than NIS that lets me share
passwords/users/whatever between several boxes?

Ideally:

 o Fault tolerant - if the server goes down, the clients use previously
cached values
 o Flexible - Certain groups can login to certain boxes, etc.
 o Fast - NIS is really slow.


Anything currently out there?

Kevin
