Settings memo for the CRIBI Bioinformatics network:

• Install nis, autofs, nfs-client packages (optionally libpam-krb5 for kerberos authentication)
• Nis domain is: cribi.unipd.it
• /etc/network/interfaces

  auto lo
  iface lo inet loopback
  
  auto eth0
  iface eth0 inet dhcp

• See /etc/krb5.conf as in package
• Special issue: if your PC has a local partition for the homes, then if we want to access local homes in conflict with NIS… let’s change local home path to mount home drive in /usr/local/home instead of /home.  See /etc/fstab for this.
• In /etc/passwd add a nis mask (+,,,,,) and change local users home directory to /usr/local/home
• See /etc/yp.conf
• See  /etc/auto.master
• See /etc/nsswitch.conf
