This is version 2.6 of a collection of NIS client tools. See the file COPYING for copying restrictions. This package contains ypcat, ypmatch, ypset, ypwhich, yppasswd, domainname, nisdomainname and ypdomainname. It is a complete rewrite of the old yp-tools 1.4.x package. It fixes a lot of bugs and problems with the old version. This package should work with every Linux libc 5 and glibc 2, and is a replacement of the yp-clients 2.2 and yp-tools 1.4.x This version contains locale support. German locales are included. You could get the latest version from: http://www.suse.de/~kukuk/nis/index.html or from the main ftp server: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/net/NIS/yp-tools-2.6.tar.gz You should use ypbind-mt 1.9 or greater. Don't forget to edit /etc/nsswitch.conf, or install the version from the etc directory for NIS. Thorsten Kukuk
