Although NIS has a number of issues against it - it still has some 
pretty good things going for it. If you are on a private network and 
security is not a high priority, then NIS is something that can be 
easily set up. Some of the nice things about NIS on Linux are:

It is fairly simple to set up
Comes with built in server redundancy and failover
Has simple server load balancing built in
Very lightweight on the client
