Hi, as you why it is insecure the biggest reason is that it is trivial for a user to get sensitive information about other users. Particularly things like password hashes, and with the compute power available today cracking a
hash is not impractical.


You don't even need to crack them yourself.
If you have the hashes, you can just use rainbow-tables available online, sometimes for a small fee.

Still relying on NIS is barely different from not having a password at all and just using a login.
In both cases, you have to trust your users - it's no different.
