that allows you to maintain commonly used configuration information on
a master server and propagate the information to all the hosts in your

sections:
•Overview of NIS+
• Planning the NIS+ Namespace
• Setting Up the NIS+ Namespace

• Summary of NIS+ Commands
You cannot use SAM to configure NIS+. However, you can use SAM to
update NIS+ tables and to configure NIS+ groups.
