Networking :: NIS, automount
I couldn't find much on this topic. How do I setup NIS, autofs on dsl? I see netbase is installed. When I try to install nis via apt-get install nis file-utils wants to install and causes the install to fail.

if this might help someone else.....
This is for an nis client
I used dpkg and forced the install of fileutils, make, nis
I started portmap (/etc/init.d/portmap start)
I add a line to /etc/yp.conf "ypserver IPaddressofypserver"
added the nis domainname to /etc/defaultdomain
added the nis server to /etc/hosts
edited the /var/yp/Makefile for my needs (re-defined ALL=)
removed the /etc/auto.master for autofs so that the startup
script for autofs would know to ask nis for the auto.master
also modified a file in /etc/default/ (can't remember filename)
rebooted and voila!
hth,
