After you have successfully configured at least one master NIS server, you are ready to configure one or more NIS clients. The general procedure for setting up an NIS client involves the following steps:
1. Set the NIS domain name.
2. Configure and start the NIS client daemon.
3. Test the client daemon.
4. Configure the client’s startup files to use NIS.
5. Reboot the client.
The following subsections describe these steps in detail and discuss the command and configuration file syntax. Note that there is some overlap between configuring a client and a server, so discussion emphasizes client configuration tasks. The final subsection configures an example NIS client to illustrate the process of setting up a no-frills NIS client system that connects to the server configured at the end of the previous section.
