+===Client Configuration===
+Client configuration begins with the installation of the NIS package and asks for the NIS domain name, which will be **cortana**.
+Next, the real configuration:
+<file>
+root@client:~# vi /etc/yp.conf
+# At the end of the file, add the domain name followed by the server in the following format:
+cortana cortana.projects.lan
+root@client:~# vi /etc/nsswitch.conf
+passwd:         compat **nis**     # added on line 7
+group:          compat **nis**     # added
+shadow:         compat **nis**     # added
+hosts:          files dns **nis**  # added
+# Lastly, reboot the client.
+</file>
+With NFS and NIS configured correctly, you should now be able to log onto cortana from arbiter and masterchief as the users on cortana.
