	RFC 2307 (rfc2307) - An Approach for Using LDAP as a Network Information S
		Network Working Group L. Howard Request for Comments: 2307 Independent Consultant Category: Experimental March 1998 An Approach for Using LDAP as a Network Information Service Status of this Memo This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
		For the purposes of this document, the term "nameservice" refers to a service, such as NIS or flat files, that is used by the operating system to resolve entities within a single, local naming context.
		Suggested resolution methods The preferred means of directing a client application (one using the shared services of the C library) to use LDAP as its information source for the functions listed in 5.2 is to modify the source code to directly query LDAP.

	Network Information Service - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Network Information Service or NIS is Sun Microsystems' "Yellow Pages" (YP) client-server directory service protocol for distributing system configuration data such as user and host names between computers on a computer network.
		As the name "Yellow Pages" is a registered trademark in the United Kingdom of British Telecom PLC for their (paper) commercial telephone directory, Sun changed the name of their system to NIS, though all the commands and functions still start with "yp".
		In many environments, directory services like LDAP have come to replace NIS, which is mostly considered to be more modern and secure than NIS, although less efficient.

		For the purposes of this document, the term "nameservice" refers to a service, such as NIS or flat files, that is used by the operating system to resolve entities within a single, local naming context.
		In particular, the host and network classes are generically applicable, and may be implemented on any system that wishes to use LDAP or X.500 for host and network resolution.

	Network Information Service Overview (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Network Information Service (NIS) is a distributed database that allows you to maintain consistent configuration files throughout your network.
		NIS maintains consistent system information throughout the domain by designating one system, the master server, as the sole source of information.
		To ensure that the system information is consistent at the slave servers, and therefore throughout the whole domain, you should make all updates to the maps at the master server.

		To simplify network administration, most UNIX networks run the Network Information Service.
		The Network Information Service (NIS) provides a simple network lookup service consisting of databases and processes.
		Its purpose is to provide information, that has to be known throughout the network, to all machines on the network.

	Solaris ONC+ - Network Information Service Plus(NIS+): An Enterprise Naming Service
		Network Information Service Plus (NIS+), a component of ONC+ in SunSoft's Solaris 2.0 and beyond, is an enterprise naming service designed to replace the widely-installed ONC Network Information Service (NIS) in customer environments.
		The overall reliability of the network is enhanced when there are multiple master servers across the network, one for each domain, as opposed to a single master for an NIS network.
		NIS+ is similar to CDS in that both services are designed to address the naming and resource location requirements of higher-level network entities such as users, systems and network services within enterprise networks.

	Network Information Service (NIS)
		Network Information Service (NIS) is a network lookup service that provides a centralized database of information about the network to systems participating in the service.
		On many networks, a number of information sources are available to provide information to network applications.
		RPC and XDR are services that bridge the gap between the transport layer services and the network application.

	Introducing the Network Information Service for Linux
		As networks of computers grow, it is increasingly important to share common system information between them to present a unified appearance to the computer user.
		The Network Information Service (NIS) is a system originally invented by Sun Microsystems for distributing shared configuration files seamlessly across a network.
		The main objective is to get domainname to run ``early'' in the boot process, before other network services that might depend on NIS run, but after the network hardware is initialized and the IP address information is set.

		Its main purpose is to hold information needed on the client machines on a centralized server, and to distribute it transparently over the network.
		New users are simply added on to the server, clients receive the user information automatically, and each user whom the server is aware of is known to the whole network, without the necessity of adding the information to each connected machine.
		This service is used to speed up the transfer of large NIS maps from an NIS master to the NIS slave server.

	A Unix Network Protocol Security Study: Network Information Service - Hess, Safford, Pooch (ResearchIndex)
		Abstract: Introduction This note is a study of the security weaknesses present in a widely used Unix network protocol, Network Information Service (NIS).
		NIS (formerly known as Yellow Pages or YP) was developed by Sun Microsystems primarily to reduce the effort required to setup and maintain a network of Unix workstations.
		Sun s NIS is used in a network of hosts in order to manage and 16 distribute system maps, like host names and user passwords.

	Network Information Service
		The Network Information Service (NIS, formerly Yellow Pages) is a distributed data lookup service for sharing information on a local area network (LAN).
		A message reminds you that your network must be established before setting up NIS, and that in order to set up an NIS server you must have the Additional Networking Services subset installed.
		Adding an NIS map to a domain allows the database information to be distributed throughout an NIS domain.

	Network Information Service
		Each domain maintains all map information on the master NIS server and then makes the information available to the other machines within the domain through a client-server relationship.
		For example, the NIS master converts the information from the group file into two different maps: one that looks up a group according to name, and one that looks it up according to Group Identification Number (GID).
		The NFS Services for NetWare 5 uses this information to allow access to the services as well as to grant permissions to specific files and directories.

	The Network Information Service (alias Yellow Pages)
		The Network Information Service (NIS, historically known as YP) is a mechanism invented by Sun for sharing Unix password files and the suchlike across a network.
		It is a general maxim of computer security that the fewer network services you run the more secure your system will be.
		You need to be running a NIS server if you want to allow other systems on your network to use your password file for authentication.

	Network Information Service
		The Unix/Linux world has generally used the Network Information Service or NIS (formerly known as the network Yellow Pages or YP) originally developed by Sun Microsystems.
		This means they are clearly visible to network snoopers and defeat the purpose of shadow password files.
		NIS is not scalable to very large local networks or wide area networks.

		The principles came about from work with consumer and patient organizations and have been reviewed by 44 organizations that represent consumers, privacy advocates, medical professionals, federal officials, the research community and others with a stake in the health IT area.
		Independent bodies, accountable to the public, should oversee local and nationwide electronic health-data exchanges as no single stakeholder group should dominate the oversight bodies, and consumer representatives selected by their peers should participate as full voting members.
