NAME

Global::config_nis_client - Setup a nisclient


SYNOPSIS

Add Global::config_nisclient, NIS_SERVER variable and NIS_SERVERS_IP variable to your custom.conf NIS_DOMAINNAME can also be defined


DESCRIPTION

It does not need a reboot but it is a good idea to give this module a low number so correct NIS-servers will be setup as early as possible. It writes the hostnames of the NIS-servers to the file /var/yp/binding/``domainname''/ypservers, and then it adds them to /etc/hosts.


EXAMPLES

In your custom.conf:

        [ set NIS_DOMAINNAME yourdomain.com ]
        set NIS_SERVERS nis1.yourdomain.com:nis2.yourdomain.com
        hash NIS_SERVERS_IP {
                nis1.yourdomain.com 192.168.1.2
                nis2.yourdomain.com 192.168.3.5
        }
        21 Global::config_nis_client


TODO

Support for different NIS-servers on different NIS-domains
