[TUHS] YP / NIS / NIS+ / LDAP

Does anyone have any experience with YP / NIS / NIS+ / LDAP as a central 
directory on Unix?

I'm contemplating playing with them for historical reasons.

As such, I'm wondering what the current evolution is for a pure Unix 
environment.  Read:  No Active Directory.  Is there a current central 
directory service for Unix (or Linux)?  If so, what is it?

I'm guessing it's LDAP combined with Kerberos, but I'm not sure.
