For NFS you need the UIDs and GIDs of your regular user accounts to be
the same on server and clients. NIS is one way of doing this. In fact
it's the "standard" way of doing it because Sun developed NIS and NFS at
around the same time.

Hi All,
Paul, thanx for the link...coupla questions, though..does this effect
the current users already on the client.? or, is it only for NFS
authorization.? I see that at boot, the client machine atempts to find
the NIS server, so, that's why I was curious about the effect on current
users...cheers.
