[ale] DNS/DHCP/NIS, etc.

[Matthew Brown]

I have used the DNS Manager/DHCP Manager combo on NT and it seems to work
well for me.

HOWEVER, I AM NOT ADVOCATING ANYONE GO OVER TO THE DARK SIDE ON THIS!!!!

I am interested to hear what might be done with NIS.  i just became aware of
this a few months ago.  Is it older or newer than DNS?  Where should it be
used?
