We need to get our redhat WS V3 machines resolving machine names from the 
dns on the main file and print servers ( Windows 2003) rather than 
using nis? Currently two Unix machines are the NIS master and slave but 
they are being decommissioned soon so we need the redhat machines to 
resolve names using our two Windows 2003 Servers that have just been 
installed. I need to know what needs to be done to get this to work. What 
changes? What order things need doing in? Is downtime needed? Do we have to 
take out the NIS settings in authconfig so it is Blank? Any help is much 
appreciated.
