It can be a pain developing a schema that will meet all your (application) requirements. I did NIS & LDAP a few years ago. I'd just Google around. There are broker apps that will do LDAP <-> NIS. And am sure by now plenty of folk will have done this. The only valuable advice I can offer is to spend a good amount of time working out the directory schema and DIT structure in advance, taking into account any potential future applications and/or changes in company structure (departments, offices, units etc). Can save you going mad later trying to make things fit or having to move big trees of entries..
