This is a snapshot of various sources for rpc.nisd, keyserv and tools

See the file Copyright for copying restrictions.

This package contains the libraries libmd, libmp, libnis_db, the daemons 
keyserv, rpc.nisd, rpc.nispasswdd and some more NIS+ tools.

It contains the current FreeBSD snapshot for rpc.nisd and my own version.
Run "configure", "make", "make install" from the main directory.
Now you could play with src/rpc.nisd or freebsd/rpc.nisd/rpc.nisd. The
FreeBSD version will work, but isn't very stable in the moment.
Due a Linux kernel bug, you need linux 2.1.116pre2 or later for
the FreeBSD rpc.nisd. As C Library, you need the GNU C Library 2.1.0 or 
later.

My rpc.nisd version is a first start, but only nis_status works.
The biggest difference is, that this version will use threads.

You could get the latest version from the main ftp server:

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/net/NIS+

or his mirrors. More dokumentation is on
