Explain how NIS is used on a UNIX/Linux network.
What will be an ideal response?
Network Information Services (NIS) provides a naming system for shared resources on a UNIX/Linux network. Typically, one UNIX/Linux network server acts as the NIS server on a UNIX/Linux network. Through the NIS server, a user can access shared resources, such as a shared partition containing shared files. In SUA, Server for NIS can be loaded as part of Active Directory and used on domain controllers. This enables the server administrator to combine management of user accounts, groups, and shared resources through Active Directory. This reduces the need to maintain separate user accounts and groups on Windows and UNIX/Linux systems, which halves the work for the administrator. Server for NIS also ensures the synchronization of account passwords. This means that if a UNIX/Linux user changes the account password on her UNIX/Linux workstation, the password change is also made automatically for the same account name in Windows Servers via Active Directory.
