What is NIS/yp?
Submitted by: AdministratorNIS (Network Information System) in the current name for what was once
known as yp (Yellow Pages). The purpose for NIS is to allow many
machies on a network to share configuration information, including
password data. NIS is not designed to promote system security. If
your system uses NIS you will have a very short /etc/passwd file with
a line that looks like this:
+::0:0:::
To view the real password file use this command "cd/etc;ypcat passwd"
