[ale] NIS & YP

[dhamm at itserve.com (David Hamm)]

I'm courious about NIS & YP.  I read the howto this weekend and it
sounded like somthing I was interested in but I don't understand how it
deals with user ids.  Lets say I have 3 computers running NIS and they
are considered work group servers and on each of them I mount the others
harddrive.  When a user from computer A logs in does that user get a
unique user ID so that if he writes somthing to one of the NFS mounted 
drives It has his unique uiser id.

Thanks
