I don't know anything about NIS, but I can learn.

I was originally trying to authenticate to my Netware server, but couldn't
make NCPFS work correctly.  At one point I had it working ... kinda ...
but it blocked everyone else from the servers.  All of them.  I decided
that I had enough time in that one and had done enough damage that I
needed to move on to another solution for now.
