Is there a rpm that can be installed via yum for nis? In reading the
HOWTO, some of the referred to components are present, yet others are
not.<br>
<br>
Also, the port mapper is not running and I am not sure what man page
addresses that.<br>
<br>
Any help/suggestions are appreciated.<br>

I would suggest LDAP as NIS/NIS+ are slowly dying out in favour of

My point started with ...
"It makes it extremely easy and painless."
In other words, it would take _less_ effort to setup than to manually
figure out what files, copy them over, etc...
I love LDAP, and now that Netscape Directory Server is now Fedora
Directory Server, yes, for the long haul, it's great.

Yes, I use the PADL tools all-the-time. But the endeavor to setup LDAP
and everything else gets involved.
Whereas you can setup the current server as an NIS server, run
"Makefile" in /var/yp and bam! You're done.
