OK, toss me a challenge. *<[:oD Quote from http://www.linux-nis.org/nis/: [ Google is my friend ] The Network Information Service (NIS) provides a simple network lookup service consisting of databases and processes. Now I know a little bit about it. In our particular home network it wouldn't be usefull. I can see where it could be in different circumstances I'm not so sure that "Centralized User Accounts" would have told me any more than "NIS Server" did. I'm sure that IF I had ever found a need for it either would have been fine. My first inclination when finding I need something, but don't really know what it is, is to start using Google and/or Wikipedia. After a time I can usually track something down that will tell me what I need. Then another search will usually turn up the process of getting it and setting it up. The fun is in the hunt. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
