NetInfo.
I’ll show myself out.
Wow, NetInfo. What a blast from the past.
To be clear NetInfo is not an alternative. It's just not generic enough and not really a good fit for Windows. NetInfo is too much a Unix solution, so there's no cross-realm/domain "forest" functionality, no support for SIDs, etc.
No takers for NIS?
