Hello, I'm currently doing some experiments with replacing the - upstream mostly unmaintained - pam_unix module (authentication with user passwd) with something using less bloated and cleaner code. This topic is currently also discussed with the upstream maintainer of pam_unix. Replacing parts of a software for the sake of less complexity usually comes with a cut-down of features; in this particular case it would be dropping support for NIS(+), which has already been abandoned by its initial developer SUN / Oracle for about 10 years [1]. Before starting some more concrete plans, I'd like to get some feedback from the Fedora community how they feel about removing NIS(+) support in PAM. Is it even still actively used anywhere and/or by anyone in the Fedora universe? Thanks, Björn [1] https://www.oracle.com/solaris/technologies/end-of-feature-notices-solaris11.html
