Hi
I am planning to use NIS for all my servers.  My networks consists of 5
server machines and all the user information must be sync across the
servers.

My networks is connecting to the internet thru a Cisco 2511 which also acts
as our firewall.  The only ports that are open on the firewall are dns,
http, pop3, smtp, ftp and 3128 for squid

Will NIS pose any security risk in this enviroment?

Thanks in advance
