<partintro>
<para>
NIS (formerly called Yellow Pages) allows network management of
important administrative files (e.g. the password file). For more
information refer to the NIS manpage and <ulink url="&url.nis;">
Introduction to YP/NIS</ulink>. There is also a book called <ulink
url="&url.nis.book;">Managing NFS and NIS</ulink> by Hal Stern.
</para>
<para>
To get these functions to work, you have to configure PHP with
<option role="configure">--with-yp</option>(PHP 3) or
<option role="configure">--enable-yp</option>(PHP 4).

<para>
<function>yp_get_default_domain</function> returns the default
domain of the node or &false;. Can be used as the domain parameter
for successive NIS calls.
</para>
<para>
A NIS domain can be described a group of NIS maps. Every host
that needs to look up information binds itself to a certain
domain. Refer to the documents mentioned at the beginning for
more detailed information.
