    Add NIS Server

    This window allows you to configure a NIS Server. NIS is supported on 
    all platforms that have appropriate software installed.

    This window has the following fields:

    Server Type

    Use this toggle to specify what type of NIS server to configure, a
    Master (the default) or Slave server. If you set this to be a Slave
    server, the window will be redrawn to show the slave server fields.

    Master Fields

        NIS Master Hostname

        Use this field to specify the hostname of the NIS master server.

        NIS Domain Name

        Use this field specify the domain name for this server.


        NIS Slave Server Hostnames

        You can use this field to specify any NIS slave servers for this
        domain. This will not automatically configure the hosts as slaves, 
		but the hosts listed here will be added to the slave server list 
		which get updated NIS maps.

        Configure Server as NIS Client

        Use this toggle to specify if this server should also be configured
        as an NIS client. The default is Yes.

        Configure Master to use DNS

        Use this toggle to specify if the NIS master server should use DNS
        as a fallback. The default is No.

        DNS Domain Name

        You can only use this field if you set the Configure Master to use
        DNS field to Yes. If so, you can use this field to specify the
        domain name of the DNS servers the NIS master should reference.

        DNS Server Hostnames

        You can only use this field if you set the Configure Master to use
        DNS field to Yes. If so, you can use this field to specify the
        hostnames of the DNS servers the NIS master should reference.

    Slave Fields
