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?
