-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2010-8849 2010-05-20 17:26:00 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : ypbind Product : Fedora 13 Version : 1.31 Release : 3.fc13 URL : http://www.linux-nis.org/nis/ypbind-mt/index.html Summary : The NIS daemon which binds NIS clients to an NIS domain Description : The Network Information Service (NIS) is a system that provides network information (login names, passwords, home directories, group information) to all of the machines on a network. NIS can allow users to log in on any machine on the network, as long as the machine has the NIS client programs running and the user's password is recorded in the NIS passwd database. NIS was formerly known as Sun Yellow Pages (YP).
This package provides the ypbind daemon. The ypbind daemon binds NIS clients to an NIS domain. Ypbind must be running on any machines running NIS client programs.
Install the ypbind package on any machines running NIS client programs (included in the yp-tools package). If you need an NIS server, you also need to install the ypserv package to a machine on your network.
