To setup this box as both server/client, I perform both steps pertaining to server and client in the Handbook? Like, I would do all that ypinit and adding all that "+:::::::::" to my /etc/master.passwd? 2.) How would I add a user so the user can logon to the server/client and to other client-only boxes? Like, is there a easy way of adding the user, having the user's /etc/master.passwd entry "exported" to /var/yp/master.passwd? 3.) Because this box is a server/client, I would point this particular box's client to localhost, correct?
