1. You need to install the nis package.
2. Edit /etc/password and change the last line to:
+::0:0:::
3. Edit /etc/group and change the last line to:
+::::
4. Edit /etc/yp.conf and change it like so:
domain your.domain.name
ypserver nis.server.your.domain.name your.domain.name
5. Run '/etc/init.d/nis restart' (if Debian) or '/etc/rc.d/init.d/ypbind
restart' (if Red Hat).
6. See if you are connecting to your NIS server by typing in 'ypcat -x'.

Homer: But, Marge! It works on _any_ Ayatollah: Ayatollah Nakhbadeh,
Ayatollah Zahedi...even as we speak, Ayatollah Razmada and his cadre
of fanatics are consolidating their power.
