A feature was removed from Opensolaris today. Interestingly the feature that should have been superseded by the feature removed today is still around: NIS+ isn't a part of Opensolaris anymore

This is a very sad day...

I understand the rationale of this decision, just from my work: While i saw several NIS implementations in the last ten year, i saw exactly one NIS+ implementation. Nevertheless all implementations are now LDAP as a part of my job

Yea , and there was much rejoicing !
about time , nis next please.

Just to qualify my delight ... I am a consultant I make a living fixing the extraordinary , strange and "how the hell does that even work" installations of NIS and NIS+ that my customers manage to cobble together.

Viva Ldap , Viva Kerberos.
