Apparently. Quoting the Handbook:
NIS, which stands for Network Information Services, was developed
by Sun Microsystems to centralize administration of UNIX
(originally SunOS) systems. It has now essentially become an
industry standard; all major UNIX like systems (Solaris, HP-UX,
AIX(R), Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, etc) support NIS.
