Take it easy Steve,
NIS is about as obsolete as UNIX was proclaimed to be when Win2K came out.
I know of at least two multi-billion dollar high tech companies who use
it extensively and who have no plans to go to LDAP for account services.
LDAP can be a PITA to administer unless you have a good understanding
the right tools/access.
When it grows up a bit more I'll revisit it (I note that SuSE use it in
their enterprise products).
I can also guarantee that NIS servers run better under Linux than under
Solaris or HP-UX under a mixed environment. Pure agony behind that
particular experience!
