I am coming from the Linux world and just bought a Mac. I need it to authenticate via NIS and then mount an NFS directory from my file server.

On my Ubuntu box I just configured the nsswitch.conf file and installed ypbind to bind to the NIS domain. Then I made an entry in fstab to mount my remote directories.

In the Mac BSD world, this doesn't seem to be the case.

Can anyone help me with this?

Any suggestions are very much appreciated.

Thanks.

Closer than you think.
Your Mac's Specs
Performa 6116 2GBSCSI 8MB OS 7.5.3
Open /Applications/Utilities/Directory Utility

Configure the NIS domain there as well as the mount points.
