Developed by Sun® Microsystems, NIS. is a distributed naming and directory service
originally called Yellow Pages® or YP. It is a mechanism for identifying and locating
network objects and resources. It provides a uniform storage and retrieval method for
network-wide information in a transport-protocol and media-independent fashion.
NIS. is a network naming and administration system typically used for smaller networks.
Using NIS, each host, client or server in the system has knowledge about the entire
system. A user at any host can get access to files or applications on any host in the
network with a single user identification and password. It is intended for use on local
area networks. NIS uses the client/server model and the Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
interface for communication between hosts. NIS consists of a server, a library of client
programs, and some administrative tools. NIS is often used with the Network. File
System (NFS). NIS is a UNIX® system-based application.
