Hello,
really great, many answers arived within seconds!!!!! (thank you Kirstin
Klarsen, Matthew Huff, Lucio Chiappetti -> yes its for a local
subnet!!!)

original question:
> while running "nissetup" the script asks for a echo "NIS domain name"
> and indicates to choose the proper name unless you want to leave a
> "virtually unusable" system!
> But what could be my NIS domain name? We don't even use BIND
> or anything else?

answer:
The NIS domain name is independend from BIND and stuff like this. It can
be any string that you want.
The name only has to be the same on every server or client, which ought
to share the same informations (passwd...)
