NIS configuration in control file

18 Jun 2003

      Hello everyone,

I'm trying to configure NIS client in
autoinstallations usign the fragment
shown at documentation (in using
SuSE 8.1) in my control file:

    <nis>
       true
       true
       test
       true

          nisserver

       true
       true
    </nis>

I would like to know what is the exact effect (i.e, how
modifies the NIS-related files under /etc) of the tags:

- nis_broadcast
- nis_broken_server
- nis_local_only
- start_autofs
- start_nis

Additionally, any pointer to SuSE 8.1 specific NIS client-server
configuration (appart the generic Linux NIS HOWTO) is
welcome.

Thanks in advance!
