Description: Network Information Service (NIS)
 This meta-package provides tools for setting up and maintaining a NIS domain.
 NIS, originally known as Yellow Pages (YP), is mostly used to let
 several machines in a network share the same account information, such
 as the password file.
 .
 This package depends on daemons, client and tools components which could
 be also used independently to provide services for multiple hosts.

 Please, read and follow /usr/share/doc/nis/nis.debian.howto to setup
