I have some doubt whether I can use the term Yellow Pages and expect readers to know what I'm referring to. Is the term Yellow Pages or NIS, specific to BSD UNIX? I imagine that system 5 has a set of services similar to the yellow pages of BSD UNIX. What is the name of the system 5 service? Thanks for any light you can shed on this, Tom DeMott
