It seems to me that NIS is being obsoleted, since using a secure LDAP is much more secure. How stands Solaris when using a PAM/LDAP solution. Is NFS pre v4 reliable? I don't think so, it has a large number of security holes. So the major advantages of Solaris is better support of obsolete systems, which are only being used because Solaris does not support the better, modern solutions? Seems a little circular to me.
