I have NIS set up on my network. For the machine serving as the NIS
server, should it be authenticating logins with the local passwd file, or
should i remove the accounts from passwd and use NIS to authenticate them
as if it were a NIS client?

also, is there a proper way to add uses to the NIS server? Or do I have to
run ypinit everytime I add a user to the system?

thanks
