The differences in setup to do that might give you some ideas of comparison. I don't know how far back you would want to go to find a version that still does that, though. You might have to go back before they picked up the LSB, which might be quite a ways back. And then there's the issue of successfully NIS from Linux to Solaris. I know it doesn't work with FreeBSD and Linux: they put some files in different places and for some reason that breaks it. Wade. Q:Is it proper to eat cheeseburgers with your fingers?

I don't remember details, but something in NIS involves syncing pieces of the filesystem. The two OSes put things in different places, or have a different file format in a few files or something.
