I've never used NIS but I think it would be handy not to have to maintain
individual accounts across three Linux systems if NIS could do the job.
The number of systems could grow.
However, a glance at Essential System Administration by Aeleen Frisch
(O'Reilly & Associates) bids me pause. She says "NIS is a security
nightmare" (p. 616).
Any thoughts about this from experienced NISsers?
