---+ Setting Up the Master and Slave Computers for SRVC Networking   

   * Configure NIS (help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNISHowTo)
      * apt-get install nis and portmap on master and slaves
      * edit /etc/default/nis NISSERVER and NISCLIENT set correctly
      * Domain ubcrobots.net
      * YPServer set to fixed IP (may need to be done in router config, or else set in /etc/network/interfaces)
      * Point slave computers to YP server /etc/yp.conf and restart NIS (init.d/nis restart)
      * Go to /var/yp and type make on slave machines to re-get the users from master
  
   * Configure NFS server
      * On Slave: 
         * apt-get install autofs
         * /etc/auto.master needs to have a yp entry that mounts home drives in /nfs
         * /etc/init.d/autofs restart to remount things
      * On Master:
         * apt-get install nfs-kernel-server
         * /etc/auto.home has mount points from nfs
         * /etc/exports lists the directories to export via NFS
         * fstab mounts various directories all under /nfs so that autofs has a single directory to look under
         * /var/yp/Makefile - edit and uncomment the line which adds auto.home to ALL
         * Edit /etc/passwd for all accounts that you want to work on slaves, point home directory to /nfs/home
