nis/yp usage question

[Bradley Eacker]

Folks,
     I was wondering how extensively the nis/yp services are
used within the sites that exist in the un*x community.  The
main information that I am looking for are:

     Do you use yp/nis?
           If you do, do you wish that you didn't have to?
           If you don't, would you be willing to explain why not?
                 And saying that you just don't want to, is a valid
		 reason :-)

     How many machines are in existance on your net?
           I am looking for orders of magnitude (1 - 10 - 100 - 1000)

     How many subnets they are broken into?

     How many yp masters do you have on your net?


I'm just a lowly engineer trying to collect some data on yp
and will post a summary to the net of any info that people
are willing to pass on.

If I am asking for information that you consider proprietary
I apologize in advance, and will obviously not publish any names
of machines/companies that do respond.

           Thanks in advance,
                 Brad Eacker (beacker at mips.com)
