NYS (NIS+, YP, Name Service Switch) is a set of functions that implements client access functions to the NIS+, YP and more network databases thru the use of a Name Service Switch). It is *not* a fully functional system yet but is in constant flux. To compile the current system you'll probably need Linux 0.99.14c, Gcc 2.5.6, Libc 4.5.7, Make 3.69 and a patched bintuils-1.9l.1 "ld" (or later versions).
