What is the future plan for NIS?
Through products and services, Sun is enabling customers to make the transition to LDAP based naming services. Once these transitions are well underway, Sun will evaluate the appropriate time to formally announce the transition plan for NIS. It is likely that our plan will follow the one for NIS+, modified by experiences gained during that transition. The earliest that such an announcement would occur would be after the next major release following the Solaris 9 OS.
