More and more, Linux machines are installed as part of a network of computers. To simplify network administration, most networks (mostly Sun-based networks) run the Network Information Service. Linux machines can take full advantage of existing NIS service or provide NIS service themselves. Linux machines can also act as full NIS+ clients, this support is in beta stage.
This document tries to answer questions about setting up NIS(YP) and NIS+ on your Linux machine. Don't forget to read Section 5.

Theo de Raadt is responsible for the original yp-clients code. Swen Thuemmler ported the yp-clients code to Linux and also ported the yp-routines in libc (again based on Theo's work). Thorsten Kukuk has written the NIS(YP) and NIS+ routines for GNU libc 2.x from scratch.
