If all your doing is serving up mount maps or netgroups then ldap is over kill, definitely don't put passwords in nis (or ldap) use kerberos for those.
A small user base can be handled more easily via nis then ldap you don't need to put passwords in passwd use kerberos for those.
Maybe it's just me, but I find sentences like the above two to be terribly confusing since they lack any punctuation to separate the separables. Since I am just learning about this area, I need all the clarity I can get. Perhaps others are in a similar situation, so, please use punctuation of some kind - separate lines, commas, semicolons, etc.
Thanks.
