I can't speculate on your security needs, but if it's a safe network, NIS does a good job. It's security is fine if you don't have really secure data and limit access to people who are not going to hack it. If someone wants to hack it, they can do so easily. Therefore I would not use it in an enviornment where physical or remote access is not very carefully controlled, or there is data somewhere that needs to be kept secure. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
