Hi All

According to Hal Stern's NFS and NIS, NIS can try to resolv and on
failure ask DNS for the requesting client.  Alternativle NIS can return
and the client can ask DNS.

Questions;

What is the correct order for _most_ of the services as configured in
/etc/nsswitch.conf is it local,NIS,DNS ?

Is there any reason to have duplicated information in DNS and NIS?

What's normal to have in either then?

TIA, I'll summarise.

Stephen.
