Summary     : NIS (YP) clients
Description :
This implementation of NIS for linux is based on the YP stuff for
FreeBSD. It is a special port for glibc 2.x and libc >= 5.4.21.

This implementation only provides NIS _clients_. You must already have
a NIS server running somewhere. You can find one for linux on
http://www-vt.uni-paderborn.de/~kukuk/linux/nis.html. Please read the
NIS-HOWTO, too.
