It is. I recently had to set up a Linux machine as a NIS client where
the server is a Solaris box, and it worked, even though Solaris uses a
different scheme for shadow passwords (a passwd.adjunct.byname map
instead of shadow.byname). This is a configuration that's supposedly
impossible according to the NIS HOWTO, too, but alas it works. Don't
believe those docs. :-)
