I would doubt that Microsoft would support NIS/NIS+ since NT 5.0 will
have kerberos. I would think that this would be a replacement for NIS/
NIS+.
FYI...nisgina will also run on the Cytrix WinFrame package except for
not bringing back a login prompt after a log out. However, the
disconnect works correctly. Haven't had a chance to debug the code yet
and find out exactly why it hangs here.
