Fedora Core 4: 2005-482 Critical Update for ypserv Crash Issue Fix

The Network Information Service (NIS) is a system that provides

network information (login names, passwords, home directories, group

information) to all of the machines on a network. NIS can allow users

to log in on any machine on the network, as long as the machine has

the NIS client programs running and the user's password is recorded in

the NIS passwd database. NIS was formerly known as Sun Yellow Pages

(YP).

This package provides the NIS server, which will need to be running on

your network. NIS clients do not need to be running the server.

Install ypserv if you need an NIS server for your network. You also

need to install the yp-tools and ypbind packages on any NIS client

machines.
