libc 4/5 with traditional NIS or NYS ?

libc4/5, use with NIS/NYS NIS/NYS, use with libc4/5The choice between "traditional NIS" or the NIS code in the NYS library is a choice between laziness and maturity vs. flexibility and love of adventure.The "traditional NIS" code is in the standard C library and has been around longer and sometimes suffers from its age and slight inflexibility.The NIS code in the NYS library requires you to recompile the libc library to include the NYS code into it (or maybe you can get a precompiled version of libc from someone who has already done it).Another difference is that the traditional NIS code has some support for NIS Netgroups, which the NYS code doesn't. On the other hand the NYS code allows you to handle Shadow Passwords in a transparent way. The "traditonal NIS" code doesn't support Shadow Passwords over NIS.
