We would like to expand our UNIX/Linux service, which uses NIS extensively, to include MacOS. Because we have lots of machines we try to automate this, which means not using the GUI but instead using scripted editing of files (using ‘cfengine’ etc.). So referring particularly to your first section “set up a NIS binding”, do you know what files might be involved in this?

Thanks.

Hi,

I’m configuring my laptop to connect through automount.
Do you have any idea how I can these steps via Terminal ?
Especially, adding NIS as an authentication source.

Thanks in advance, Thomas.
