# Security Considerations:
#   This NIS service type inherits the security considerations from the
#   naming-directory service type.

#==========================================================================

#   NIS stands for Network Information Service, and was formerly known as
#   YP. It uses ONC RPC [RFC1057] as its transport mechanism. This document
#   describes a template providing a service: URL and attributes useful
#   for dynamically discovering NIS+ servers; this type can be used with
#   SLP [RFC2608]. Service templates and service: schemes are defined in 
#   [RFC2609].
#
#   This type is intended to be used as a concrete portion of the
#   abstract naming-directory type. The NIS type includes all attributes 
#   from the naming-directory abstract type.

template-description=
  This is a concrete type; the abstract type for this service
  is naming-directory (described in the 'naming-directory' 
  service template). This type is used by NIS+ servers to 
  advertise their services and NIS+ clients which wish to 
  discover NIS+ servers.

template-url-syntax=
  url-path      = "nis://" addr "/" domain
  addr          = ipv4-addr
  domain        = string / string "." domain
  ipv4-addr     = 1*3DIGIT 3( "." 1*3DIGIT )
  string        = ISO Latin 1 character set except the
                  character '/' (slash). The initial character
                  may not be a terminal character or the
                  characters '@' (at), '+' (plus), or (`-')
                  hyphen.
