Kubuntu at Work

To get video working at the correct resolution with the i810 chipset and an HP1902 monitor, I used this xorg.conf file. To install NIS, I did this:

  sudo apt-get install portmap nis

In /etc/nsswitch.conf, I changed this:

passwd:         compat
group:          compat
shadow:         compat

to this:

passwd:         files nis
group:          files nis
shadow:         files nis

added this to /etc/yp.conf:

domain domainname server servername

and restarted NIS. Finally, to allow me to log in as normal, I had to install zsh, nfs-common, and autofs.
