Now I know a little bit about it. In our particular home network it wouldn't be usefull. I can see where it could be in different circumstances
I'm not so sure that "Centralized User Accounts" would have told me any more than "NIS Server" did. I'm sure that IF I had ever found a need for it either would have been fine. My first inclination when finding I need something, but don't really know what it is, is to start using Google and/or Wikipedia. After a time I can usually track something down that will tell me what I need. Then another search will usually turn up the process of getting it and setting it up. The fun is in the hunt.
From this you can see advantage to have link http://www.linux-nis.org/nis/ included in help, It would save you Google search, and make sure that you get relevant web page, not some other page that talks about NIS. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
