On the other hand, besides this studies of development, is there
a chance of getting a NIS/YP compatible and useful pw

As I follow the recommendations given in READMEs in /var/yp
from FBSD, it is said to be usefull to set up dedicated
directories for each domain to keep the servers /etc free of net
wide user's stuff. But setting up a such environment
is totaly free from useful tools like pw. pw should be able
to handle multi domain setups on NIS/YP servers under the aspect
of appropriate security aspects.
Thanks.
P.S. Only a foolish opinion, I think, but hope FreeBSD gets more
usefull
by this in future in big networks. pw is a very mighty tool
managin user additions and subtractions from a LAN management
maintained by a raw FBSD system (without additional software
which means additional maintainance).
