Hi Dean.

I could not find any specific information regarding the Cobalt Qube and NIS,
but I did find a Linux NIS-HOWTO that should contain all the information you
need to set up and run NIS on your Qube.  Have a look in /etc/rc.d/init.d
for ypbind, yppasswd and ypserv.  If they are there, you have everything you
need already installed - you just need to configure it.  Should you need to
install the software, you can get it at www.rpmfind.net.

Here is the HOWTO information from the Linux Documentation Project:

Take care.
