Typically, the (non-server) hosts in a network are NIS clients. Whenever

a process on an NIS client requests conﬁguration information, it calls

NIS instead of looking in its local conﬁguration ﬁles. The set of maps

shared by the servers and clients is called the NIS domain.

For more information on NIS, see the domainname(1M) man page, or the

manual Installing and Administering NIS Services.
