I've try to use LDAP to authen. SMTP user, 
by sendmail on Solaris 2.6 against Netscape LDAP 4.11.
without luck I can't find SDK for that version.
So, my solaris 2.6 can't talk with NDS 4.11

Hope this help
Pat.

NIS/NIS+, or LDAP are your best bets.

I personally haven't tinkered alot with LDAP, but it appears as though
it's becoming the defacto centralized user management system.

I'm fond of NIS+, though it has the tendency to be a bloody pain to get up
and running.

NIS/NIS+ is built into 5.6.  LDAP you'd need to do some additional work to
get up and running, IIRC.

Cheers,
