I just ran across a book that I wish I had seen much earlier.  It not only
describes how NFS works, but is loaded with diagnostic and problem-solving
tips.  The NIS material if not useful at least makes me feel more
appreciative of NetInfo.  The book is:
 
_Managing_NFS_and_NIS_, by Hal Stern, O'Reilly & Associates, Inc.  Copyright
1991, reprinted April 1992 with minor corrections.  ISBN 0-937175-75-7.
 
This 436-page paperback cost around $28.  This & other O'Reilly books I
highly recommend for Unix Sysadmins.

I have this book and highly recommend it as well, but I read in OS
Today recently that he is going to issue a new edition sometime this
year that will cover NIS+.  No big deal to most NeXT people but if
you have to manage (gag) Solaris systems, be on the lookout for it.

I can highly recommend EVERY O'Reily book (I have just about everything
they make, including the *GACK* X set), they seem to be the most up to
dat, information filled books that I've seen on the shelves about every
topic they cover.  Some companies even ship their books as "standard
documentation."  Also, the UUCP/UseNet series is excellent, as is the
RPC programming book.  BTW, I have NO association with O'Reily except
for giving them lots of my money :-)

PS: Thery even offer discounts when they update books.
