Why you need NIS?
It stores data for identifying and authorizing users(*) centrally, and
distributes them to clients.
It does not make any sense to me.
There are only 2 scenarios makings sense:
- you go for SSSD (no need for NIS)
SSSD is a caching proxy for (mainly) identification and authorization
data. It has to get this data from one or more backends - like NIS.
- you stick with NIS (no need for SSSD)
And no client-side caching, which is what I want.
