The main problem with NIS is that logins and passwords circulate in clear-text
over the network.
I've written a detailed blog article about NIS on CentOS 7. Should work
similarly on CentOS 8, since NIS didn't really evolve since:
https://blog.microlinux.fr/serveur-nis-centos-7/
A secure alternative that's not much more difficult to setup is 389 Directory
Server:

This one works differently on CentOS 8 though.
Cheers,
