Description: clients and daemons for the Network Information Service (NIS)
This package provides tools for setting up and maintaining a NIS domain.
NIS, originally known as Yellow Pages (YP), is mostly used to let
several machines in a network share the same account information, such
as the password file.
Template: nis/domain Type: string #flag:comment:2,3 # Translators, it is recommended to keep "domainname" which is a # technical term in NIS. If you insist on translating, you can do # things such as: # 'nom de domaine (domainname)' (for a French translation) _Description: NIS domain: Please choose the NIS "domainname" for this system. If you want this machine to just be a client, you should enter the name of the NIS domain you wish to join. . Alternatively, if this machine is to be a NIS server, you can either enter a new NIS "domainname" or the name of an existing NIS domain.
