We used to be a NIS+ shop until about three years ago. The back-end servers were all easily converted to LDAP but it took a while to convert our pseudo-DMZ machines (sort of an internal DMZ, not as restricted as the external DMZ wall). That now done, NIS+ is toast around here, except for support of the remaining NeXT machines in some other business group.
Veritas volume management. We do use NetBackup but there's an entire team dedicated to that support so I don't have to mess with it. Most of the VVM issues were related to our servers running "vxrelocd" when they don't really need to since we use RAID 0+1 for local disk arrays, negating the need for a hot spare. Of course, the SAN has eliminated almost all of those local disk arrays as well...
For me, LISA is more a hottub occasion than a golf vacation. It has been years since I've attended and even then it was on my own dime. :-(
