Is the point of NIS not to provide access of the same user to multiple systems?

If you truly want to restrict certain NIS users to one system, would it not be better that they be regular users on that one system instead of NIS users?

Seems that the goal stated would be achieved by that solution.

You need to use "netgroups".
