This thread is to discuss the article titled:

Quote:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Network Information Service ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 'Network Information Service' or NIS was created by SUN MicroSystems for the easy administration of users and for account management. It was named as 'Yellow Pages' but due to a patent by the 'British Telecomm Department', they had to change it to NIS. We can see the relationship to their former name, since most of the commands start with 'yp'.

No wonder I found this in 0 reply.

This bug was fixed long ago, but only applies to items created after the fix.
