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.
