    Hi. It depends on how you set up NIS. In 8.0 the NIS Yast didn't work. So you
    can either install 8.2 or if you like or I can send you a howto do it maually
    (may now be on the unofficial FAQ. Togan may be able to help)

    Sorry. I understand your problem but must rush just now.

    Cheers. Steve.
