NIS?

[Ice0]

Just a quick question, what is NIS, (what does it *do*) and do I need it for my home network?

Any help appreciated...

It lets you do everything from one box. Need to add a user to twelve boxes? NIS lets you do it to the master box and it pushes it out to the other boxes. It isn't very secure and it isn't needed on a home network unless you just want to fool around with it.

Network Information System

Did I do that?
