Hi,
After I started to work on a development project at my current workplace, a workstation with Linux Enterprise 5 was provisioned for the same. I was required to have a YPMaster Login for the same in the NIS Server. Yes I know that one may find a lots to read on the topic of NIS Server. But one thing caught on to my curiosity!! What was YP? I tried my best to guess it out on my own, but I could not get much! There were not many Technical words in English starting with the Letter Y.
After much research on the internet, finally I found that it expands to "Yellow Pages"!! More on it, here.
Curiosity kills the crow, but then the crow was never on Linux!!
Enjoy Exploring!
