@puppygirlhornypost2 @stefano I don't know of anyone even trying to do NIS these days. Instead I'd expect to see OpenLDAP + Kerberos and some custom tooling to sync data from LDAP onto the filesystem. Like this is how at previous job we handled ssh keys. Every server's SSH keys were stored in its computer account in LDAP, and a script would distribute them to all systems so whenever you ssh to a server you are never asked to accept a key -- your computer already knows it
