So which is it :P I just found this page: http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/linux-adv/nis.htm#_Toc92809819 I've done a fair bit of NIS stuff with Debian and Mandrake, so it looks like some of the stuff in there (e.g., the /etc/sysconfig/network file) is Red Hat/Mandrake specific. However, the general outline seems right for Debian. Step 8 in particular seems like the place where you'd define the slave server. (Bad as the terminology is, that's the phrase you'll want to Google for: NIS+"slave server".) Let me know if that helps you. -- Stephen R.
