How can you check if a host uses NIS? How do you know which NIS server is is using? What files in the NIS server similar to a local /etc/passwd/
Thanks,

SolutionIf NIS is running then ypwhich should return the name of the NIS server it is bound to.
In NIS there is a passwd map. From the server, or any NIS client, 'ypcat passwd' will show you the contents of this map.

Re: NIS
You need to look /etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs, /etc/nsswitch.conf file.
namesvrs file will have if the system is configured as NIS server or NIS client.
nsswitch.conf will have which source will use. like file or DNS or NIS
ypwhich command will show client is bound to which NIS server.
There is no equivalent file of /etc/password on NIS server. In NIS server, everything is database called maps. An NIS map is a data base built from ASCII configuration files. Maps are indexed on some field in
the data base. For example, the password data base is indexed on the user name or user ID.
Hope this helps upto some extend.
Ganesh.
