Description : NSS module for using NIS as a naming service
This package provides a Name Service Switch that allows your NIS server
act as a name service. This means providing user account information,
group id's, host information, aliases, netgroups, and basically anything
else that you would normally get from /etc flat files.
This module was formerly part of glibc, but is now standalone to be able
to link against TI-RPC for IPv6 support.
glibc 2.32 removed support for NIS, and with it the libnss_nis.so.2 NSS
module. This package will provide this feature instead.
