CXV. YP/NIS Functions

Introduction

   NIS (formerly called Yellow Pages) allows network management of
   important administrative files (e.g. the password file). For more
   information refer to the NIS manpage and The Linux NIS(YP)/NYS/NIS+
   HOWTO. There is also a book called Managing NFS and NIS by Hal Stern.
