Solaris NIS and NFS

I think I understand a bit of NIS , that it is a kind of database used by solaris to maintain accounts and NFS is the file system for solaris networking.

But what are the intricacies withe respect to it, what happens when the following things are run
i) make passwd, passwd -r nis and make passwd.adjunct?

This is something that interests me and may be worthwhile to spend some time on it? So plan for the day is to atleast what these are for me.
