+%description
+The Network Information Service (NIS) is a system which provides
+network information (login names, passwords, home directories, group
+information) to all of the machines on a network.  NIS can enable
+users to login on any machine on the network, as long as the machine
+has the NIS client programs running and the user's password is
+recorded in the NIS passwd database.  NIS was formerly known as Sun
+Yellow Pages (YP).
+
+This package's NIS implementation is based on FreeBSD's YP and is a
+special port for glibc 2.x and libc versions 5.4.21 and later.  This
+package only provides the NIS client programs.  In order to use the
+clients, you'll need to already have an NIS server running on your
+network. An NIS server is provided in the ypserv package.
+
+Install the yp-tools package if you need NIS client programs for machines
+on your network.  You will also need to install the ypbind package on
+every machine running NIS client programs.  If you need an NIS server,
+you'll need to install the ypserv package on one machine on the network.
