Hello,
again answers came immediatly!

question was:
which "hosts" or "services" is asked upon a given request (local or
NIS-server)?

answer:
the file /etc/svc.conf defines who to ask. For example the hosts
file, you might specify to look up DNS first, then NIS and at last
local or you might specify that although other files are supported by
NIS, the passwd file should be local.
