FYI.
I upgraded my lab machine today to slink. The NIS docu
suggests
---[/usr/doc/nis/nis.debian.howto.gz]
2. HOW TO SPECIFY WHAT RESOURCES TO USE FOR NIS:
2.4.2 For libc6 applications:
Edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and change the hosts entry:
hosts: nis files
---
I had to make this line in nsswitch.conf
hosts: nis files dns
before network users could log in (via NIS).
