Even lighter weight directory protocol?

[George Mitchell]

I use NIS to propagate /etc/passwd and /etc/group, and really nothing
else.  I have been thinking about shifting to LDAP, to avoid some of
the really embarrassing failure modes of NIS, except that I would like
to kill the sadist who named this a "lightweight" protocol.  I've
thought about a simple cron/rsync job (and maybe that's what I'll do
in the end).  But are there any other directory-ish systems out there
that are, let's say, bantamweight or flyweight?             -- George
