Hmm yes. The word 'netinfo' still strikes
fear into the souls of
people who tried to configure stuff like NFS exports on early OS X
versions :S
It was even a horrible pain back in NeXTSTEP. Apparently Netinfo had a
hardcore devotee (I don't recall who it was) within Apple who just Would
Not Let It Go for way too long.
It was a bad idea in NeXTSTEP, and an even worse idea
in OS X. Good
riddance.
Is it really worse than NIS/YP (in fact NetInfo gives me the impression
it was meant to supersede it?)
