<H2>Configuring NIS Clients</H2>
<P>
Clients do not maintain local copies of NIS maps; they query a server each time
they need information. To expedite the query process, the NIS client process
locates the server at startup and <EM>binds</EM> the client to the server for 
subsequent queries.
</P>
<P>
Every system on the network is a potential NIS client, including NIS servers.
A server must be configured as a client if it is to look up data from the
NIS database, even though it contains a copy of the database.
</P>
<P>
Use the NIS Client Configuration form to set these parameters:
</P>
<P>
<STRONG>Enable NIS client:</STRONG> This selection turns the NIS client 
function on or off for this host. Select <VAR>Yes</VAR> to turn on NIS 
support, or select <VAR>No</VAR> to turn off NIS support on this system.
</P>
(Default value: No)
<P>
<STRONG>NIS domain name:</STRONG> The name of the domain that contains
the NIS maps for this host.
</P>
(Default value: none)
