settings. LDAP client configuration is discussed in further detail in Section “The YaST<br />

LDAP Client” (Chapter 25, LDAP—A Directory Service, ↑Reference).<br />

Configuring the Host as a NIS Client<br />

To implement user administration by NIS, configure a NIS client in the next step. This<br />

section only describes the configuration <strong>of</strong> the client side. Configuration <strong>of</strong> a NIS<br />

server with YaST is described in Chapter Using NIS (↑Reference).<br />

In the NIS client dialog, first select whether the host has a static IP address or gets one<br />

with DHCP. If you select DHCP, you cannot specify a NIS domain or NIS server address,<br />

because these are provided by the DHCP server. Information about DHCP is<br />

available in Chapter DHCP (↑Reference). If a static IP address is used, specify the NIS<br />

domain and the NIS server manually.<br />

To search for NIS servers broadcasting in the network, check the relevant option. You<br />

can also specify several NIS domains and set a default domain. For each domain, select<br />

Edit to specify several server addresses or enable the broadcast function on a per-domain<br />

basis.<br />

In the expert settings, use Answer Remote Hosts to allow other network hosts to query<br />

which server your client is using. If you activate Broken Server, responses from servers<br />

on unprivileged ports are also accepted. For more information, refer to the man page<br />

<strong>of</strong> ypbind.<br />

Configuring the Host as a Windows Domain Member<br />

To implement user administration using a Samba or Windows server, configure a<br />

Samba client in the next step. This section only describes the configuration <strong>of</strong> the client<br />

side. Samba configuration is described in further detail in Chapter Samba (↑Reference).<br />

In the Windows Domain Membership dialog, enter the NT or Active Directory domain<br />

or Samba workgroup to join or use Browse to select from a list <strong>of</strong> available domains.<br />

Select Create Home Directory on Login if you want to create home directories for any<br />

user logging in to the domain from your local machine. Click Finish to apply your settings<br />

and provide the necessary credentials.
