[Sunhelp] NIS Doubt

[Balaji srinivasan]

Hi Admins,
           I have a doubt in NIS. Pardon me if it's silly. We have some
servers configured with NIS. One master and several clients. My questions
are:

1. When a system gets itself registered as NIS client,how can I set the
passwd of ROOT to be the same as NIS master. In /etc/nsswitch.conf file
passwd : nis files is present.

2. Is it advisable to have the passwd of ROOT userid same as NIS master for
the clients?. If not how can I set unique ROOT passwords for the NIS master
and the clients.

Thanks,
Balaji
