still using it? is it worth it?
Answers: yes, and "probably not"
It's not that NIS isn't used, but that it is unlikely to be deployed other than
in a legacy organation, not a new use case. I personally think that the
wikipedia coverage is adequate, it lets people know it when they see it, and put
it in perspective. I think that's appropriate.
There are also many semi-standard offspring, NIS+, NIS with
{DES,AES,Blowfish,Serpent}, etc.
Cover LDAP instead. ;-)
