AIX NIS client

All,

I have just started using AIX (Solaris admin here) and I need to setup my new AIX box as an NIS client. Where would I do this?

Thanks for the help!

smitty nfs_menus and check if the NIS entry is there. If not you will have to install the NIS client from the O/S CD. Once installed repeat the command above and go into the NIS area to set it up.
