I'm trying to make NIS work for a Linux 0.96 debian release on a network of Sun Solaris machines. I've read the NIS.howto and the Net.howto. I've a few questions.
Is there a doc somewhere I've missed? The NIS.howto says to add a domainname-yp <name> command to my rc.local. I don't have a domainname-yp program, but I do have a domainname program. Are they the same? I don't have a man page for domainname. If they aren't the same, which debian package has what I want? I for one am not happy with the convoluted rc?.d directory structure of the debian system. It is very confusing. Yes, I know that each rc<N>.d directory is searched for scripts to execute when changing from level to level, but I still haven't figured out why there are so many levels and what they all mean, but that's beside the point. Where do I put things like the above since rc.local doesn't appear to get executed anymore? In general, where do you put things that need to be started at boot if they don't fit into the provided categories? Thanks and please excuse the soapbox, it is frustrating sometimes not knowing what to do or where to look for answers. RTFM only works when you 1) know which manual. 2) have a small enough set to make searching practical.
