Configure NIS Client2011/04/30

aptitude -y install nis portmap

# input domain name

vi /etc/yp.conf

Configuration file for the ypbind process. You can define

NIS servers manually here if they can't be found by

broadcasting on the local net (which is the default).

See the manual page of ypbind for the syntax of this file.

For the "ypserver", use IP addresses, or make sure that

the host is in /etc/hosts. This file is only interpreted

once, and if DNS isn't reachable yet the ypserver cannot

be resolved and ypbind won't ever bind to the server.
