LDAP can't help you. It's not NIS' fault that local superusers can su
to everyone. The problem is the NFS-server trusting UIDs on remote
computers.
You need a different network filesystem. Personally I prefer AFS ( see
www.openafs.org ). It's a bit difficult to configure but that's compensated
by the ease of maintanance.
Cheers,
Frank
