I'd second Kerberos ... RADIUS and LDAP can handle authentication, but they're not really geared for the same sort of thing (where the authenication service doesn't necessarily trust the server that's doing the authentication).
As for reasons why Perl Monks isn't using it, I couldn't say, but it was discussed a while back in Single Sign-On?
As for my experience w/ remote authentication, it's mostly in LDAP, and I've done a little work w/ RADIUS, but I'm no expert in it. (they're simple, and if you control all of the servers that are doing the authentication, they're fine)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
