It can't be that easy?

Folks, Am I right in thinking that I could symlink /etc/passwd and /etc/group from a 'server' (main machine) to others to enable network logons? What other files would need linking? Am I also right in thinking that I could map /home to said 'server' from all 'clients'? If I can do both these things, why use NIS?
