NIS. It is common for the nonserver hosts in a network to be NIS clients. Whenever a process on an NIS client requests configuration information, it calls the NIS server instead of looking in its local configuration files. The set of configuration data maps shared by the servers and clients is called the NIS domain.

For more information, see domainname(1), domainname(1M), and Installing and Administering NIS Services.
