Uninstall the nis package

An XCCDF Rule

Description

The support for Yellowpages should not be installed unless it is required.

Rationale

NIS is the historical SUN service for central account management, more and more replaced by LDAP. NIS does not support efficiently security constraints, ACL, etc. and should not be used.
