The best place to go is the man pages.  If you are looking at doing auto =
mounted home directories don't forget to look up autofs, exportfs and =
exports.  Look at /etc/yp.conf, /etc/ypserv.conf, /var/yp/Makefile.  =
Take a look at the init scripts ypbind, and ypserv.  They will give you =
a lot of hints on where to look for stuff and what to look at.

Hi,=20

Im a newby to linux and trying my best to get things going but really =
struggling to get off the ground in places. I need a way for linux =
clients to log-on to a linux network using accounts ?(like a windows =
domain). I have believe a NIS server/client setup may be the way to go =
but i'm not to sure if this is the best way and I've tried to follow the =
How To's but I just cant get NIS to work at all :( All the step-by-steps =
I have found tell me to use the yp programs like 'make' etc BUT HOW? =
Does anyone have a NIS step-by-step install and config guide for a =
beginner to understand ? I just can't find one that is clear and =
understandable...
