[newbie] nis

[Jaswinder S. Ahluwalia]

to whom it may concern,

I'm pretty much a newbie to linux but the people at my work want me to
set up a machine as a nis server. A collegue of mine sent me the
following message

 I installed the ypserv RPM
for you.  You can start at the point where you configure
/etc/ypserv.conf.

So, can someone provide me with detailed instructions as to how to do
this?
I looked at the how to and did not understand much of it.

I would greatly appreciate any help you could offer.

Thanks,
Jas
