The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'Managing Nfs and Nis':

Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
NFS (Network File System) provides, for UNIX systems and those connected to them, very basic file and print server functions. NIS (Network Information Services, formerly called the "Yellow Pages"--a name which remains in the initial "yp" of most of the related programs) is an extension and related system handling files which deal with system and user information. NIS tells NFS about systems and connections, and can also provide general information on users. Originally developed by Sun Microsystems, both applications are now widely licensed, and provide fundamental sharing of resources on top of TCP/IP, in a fashion similar to microcomputer network operating systems. The book provides information on the fundamentals of networking, and then covers the operation, management and applications of NIS. NFS administration and operation complete the basics. Specialized topics such as diskless clients, network security and mail services are covered, as are diagnostic tools, debugging problems, performance tuning, the Automounter and PC/NFS. copyright Robert M. Slade, 1994
