Hallo,
we are about to configure a NIS-Server which should only serve the
"hosts" and "services" but still a general question concerning the
nis-client(s) is waiting to be answered :
=> which "hosts" or "services" is asked upon a given request (local or
NIS-server)?
For example:
1. while starting an informix database which requires a valid tcp-port:
does a nis client satisfies his needs consulting the
"/var/yp/src/services" of the master- respectivly slave-server or what?
2. while searching the ip-adress of a certain server, which hosts is to
be asked?
mit freundlichen Gruessen
