But there is as part of some NFS stuff the ability to have an NDS system act as an NIS master. I don't know about DNS; maybe that's a confusion of NDS? The reason for the NIS mastering is to support NDS based full network administration and to support user ID mapping on NFS systems mounted by (and from) the NetWare server. Mostly "by". I remember this well because we had to listen to the relatively bogus security design when we were talking about unifying NDS and UNIX logins in UnixWare 2.x so that there would be credentials instances for NDS to avoid the NetWare login requestor for NUC (NetWare UNIX Client) mounted Native NetWare volumes. Then I pointed out "system boot" and since they hadn't thought about how to get NDS credentials when NDS wasn't up and networking wasn't up, the meeting got tabled.
