NIS documentation (nis 3.3.1-1)




FYI.

I upgraded my lab machine today to slink. The NIS docu
suggests 

---[/usr/doc/nis/nis.debian.howto.gz]
2. HOW TO SPECIFY WHAT RESOURCES TO USE FOR NIS: 

2.4.2 For libc6 applications: 

      Edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and change the hosts entry: 

      hosts:  nis files
---

I had to make this line in nsswitch.conf

 hosts:  nis files dns

before network users could log in (via NIS).
