Hey Y'all,

I found this:

https://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=CentOS_8&p=nis&f=1

I've been told in the past that NIS should not be used because of some 
supposed security issues.

Can someone site any authoritative documentation concerning the security 
issues extant in NIS?

My plan is to set up NIS and NFS on my home network server where I plan 
to host all the local home network /home directories.  I'll use 
automount on all the other nodes to mount up the home directories when a 
user logs on.
