you would be better to pour molten lead in your eyesockets after gouging 
out your eyes with rusty spoons than use NIS.  use the PAM redirection for 
LDAP and point your LDAP auth at your AD servers if you are running AD.  
If you are looking for a nonwindows solution, then LDAP is wonderful.  
Just for the love of god don't use NIS.
