Maybe I'm just ignorant about the field, but is any RedHat/Fedora user still using NIS+ instead of LDAP in corporate environments?
I wonder whether NIS, NIS+, Hesiod and DB support in glibc could be dropped altogether to reduce the size of Core and simplify dependencies.
dropping nis would be a serious problem for a lot of folks, including myself.
For simple multi-machine nss nis is still, by far, the simplest to setup and maintain.
