Configures NIS

Requirements

Role Variables

See defaults/main.yml

Some of them:

• nis_enabled: True
  • If set to False don't run this role
• nis_initialize: True
  • initialize runs "ypinit -m servername"
• nis_server: True / False
  • Sets up the master, defaults to only setting up the client
• nis_domain: yourNISdomain

It's also possible to disable configuration of nsswitch and nscd.

Dependencies

Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- hosts: servers
  roles:
     - { role: ansible-role-nis }
