NIS clients for linux

Version:

1.4

Description:

These programs are used to turn your linux station into an NIS (formerly YP) client. Provided are ypbind, ypcat, ypmatch, yppoll, ypset and ypwhich. ypbind can use a file /etc/yp.conf for setting the server (new in this version), or it can use broadcast. This version does not have to use broadcast. You can use a server behind a gateway by making an entry in /etc/yp.conf. It also uses sylog for error-messages (routines from Richard W. Stevens' book Unix Network Programming)

Keywords:

NIS, YP, networking, yellow pages, network information system
