This a YP (NIS version 2) Server for Linux, but it also runs under other OS like SunOS 4.1.x, Solaris 2.x, AIX, HP-UX, IRIS, Ultrix and others. This is NOT an NIS+ (NIS version 3) Server ! See the file COPYING for copying restrictions. It is available under the GNU General Public License. The primary development site for ypserv is: https://github.com/thkukuk/ypserv 1024 Byte limit in NIS protocol: --------------------------------- The NIS protocol has one important limit: keys and data are limited to 1024 bytes. Today most implementations (especially glibc and this ypserv implementation) can handle longer keys and data. But this must not be the case for every implementation, so be careful if you use entries which are longer.
