Is there a "better" NIS [...]

I'd be interested in hearing about any such.  I'm almost ready to try
my hand at writing one myself, but so far the perceived need has not
yet been sufficient to make me allocate the time.

We're running NeXTStep here, do you, or anyone else for that matter, know 
of any security holes concerning the NetInfo NIS(type) system that deals 
with our local information sharing?

So far we've been lucky, I'd like to stop being lucky and start being 
resonably intelligent.
