Description eogren 2000-06-01 01:50:01 UTC 
 Per a couple of requests on -doc, here's a tutorial on setting up an NIS
master, slave, and clients.

 I just pretty much copied the Makefile from an already existing one; it
seems to work as far as I can tell (I can make, make install, and make
clean), but it may need tweaking; I'm not too sure how our doc build
system works.

 >How-To-Repeat: 

n/a

Fix: Create doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/articles/nis-guide, and extract the following
(below the Makefile patch) shell archive into it. Also, apply the simple
Makefile patch to doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/articles/Makefile to put nis-guide
in the build. (There may be other build-related changes that I missed, but
I don't think so).

Very useful submission, thanks. 

I received several comments from Udo Erdelhoff <ue@nathan.ruhr.de>, 
and it seems, that some parts are not quite correct. 

Also, Udo added some very nice information about netgroups, which I'll 
add, too. 

However, Nik said, that I should merge these bits into the current handbook. 

So, work is in progress.

Patches are in Bill's hands now.  He'll look at them and commit
