Hello listmates,
I have discovered a very strange SFTP problem which I can not connect to anything but NIS thus far. See here:

Hence the question: is NIS (YP) still in use much anywhere for authentication?
Solaris still favours it, but mainly because Sun invented it. Most of the rest of us don't bother. I certainly haven't seen it anywhere except exclusively SunOS/Solaris based networks for ages.
