Default secure RPC - DH authentication without NIS ??

I need to setup NFS mounts between two Solaris 10 boxes and one Sol9
box but we need the ability to have users in more than 16 groups. My
first round of digging leads me to believe we need to use Secure NFS/
RPC. But which flavor of authentication ?? We're trying to minimize
impact on the users and the administrators here.

The DH auth. sounds simpler to me - a straightforward PKI exchange.
Has to be easier than using the Kerberos auth.. But all the doc. for
setting up the DH says it uses NIS/NIS+ and that is going away. But I
can't see any reference to the DH key maps being migrated into LDAP.

Is there any other way to setup DH authentication for Secure RPC
without using NIS(+) ?? Static files would even be acceptable.

thanks,
Don M.
