ypbind
Clients run the ypbind daemon, which enables client processes to obtain information from a server. Clients do not maintain maps themselves, but rather query servers for system and user account information. (Clients do not make a distinction between querying the master server or a slave server.) To access system information contained in an map, a client makes a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) to a server. The server searches its local database and returns the requested information to the client.
