LXVIII. YP/NIS Functions
NIS (formerly called Yellow Pages) allows network management of
important administrative files (e.g. the password file). For more
information refer to the NIS manpage and
Introduction to YP/NIS. There is also a book called Managing NFS and NIS by Hal Stern.
To get these functions to work, you have to configure PHP with
--with-yp.
