As has been pointed out by some people the thread was about YaST, the

Somehow, I have wonder why someone that didn't know what an "NIS Server"
is would be trying to change settings.

As it is something that is "inside" the network configuration, it is easy to wonder whether one needs a NIS server or not - and there is almost no help there to clarify the doubts. It might be something we didn't heard of before, and be interesting to have - or perhaps not.

Some modules are very intuitive or provide good help, and some have almost no help or is it useless. A seasoned administrator will know what NIS is for and maybe know how to set it up from the CLI, so he will not miss help from yast. But for the rest of us mere mortals, for whom yast existence is often a blessing, that scarceness of help with some modules is disconcerting, and we would be very gratified if improved.
