I mean, I remember using it in themid to late 90s on a network of Sun Solaris systems (after all, they virtually invented it), but we got rid of it by the mid 2000s because its simply not secure by any rational definition, and only really suitable on a network where everyone trusts everything attached to the network, that world simply doesn't exist anymore. -- -john r pierce recycling used bits in santa cruz

You might want to move to 389 Directory Server. Robust, secure and well-documented.

Robust, secure and well-documented.NIS works fine on CentOS 8. Certainly the client side. But how it's enabled is different, check the manual. authconfig is replaced with authselect.
