- You must have old manuals. NIS used to be called Yellow Pages.
- If you have an old OS release installed on your system you'd
- probably have to grep for YP or Yellow Pages. If you're running
- 4.0.3 or some such, NIS won't be in there.

- By the way - Sun HAS seen the light and all this is much
- more configurable in Solaris 2. Resolving is determined by
- a configuration file, much like on a lot of other machines.
