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?
Even without AD one could setup a Kerberos server and NIS database a lot easier then LDAP.

Really!?
I dunno, what you just described sounds a lot more complex then setting up an OpenLDAP server, even with replication.
