Hello.  I am attempting to set up NIS on my network.  One machine as a
Master Server, one machine as a Slave Server and a few client servers.  So
far, the handbook instructions seem to work well, the ypinit functions
happened as expected at least.

I have a question about how to keep the slave servers updated.  In the
handbook section there is a reference to
	 "...entries on your slave servers should do the job:
20	*	*	*	*	root	/usr/libexec/ypxfr
passwd.byname
21	*	*	*	*	root	/usr/libexec/ypxfr
passwd.byuid"

The handbook does not indicate where these two lines should go.

Where should these lines go and could you include a short paragraph
explaining a little more about what their inclusion will do/change?

Thanks,

--gill
