Onces I tried to install it, but it was impossible for me, I tried first
in a Solaris box trying to update info. also in Linux box, but it was not
possible, so I decided to make my own NIS, it is very usefull to me I use
the inetd server to watch the port, when a client wants to chance a
password or I want to add users,hosts,groups,etc I even just add a part
that turn off all the systems included on this NIS system when there is a
power failure.
