Man, NIS is not the best documented service in the world when it comes to firing up slave servers. There doesn't seem to be any documented flag. I have 3 machines I want to NIS. (actually they are NIS'ing) MachineA is acting as the NIS master and B and C are running as clients currently. I want to set up Machine B as a slave server rather than a client. On the Master, I edited the ypservers file to look like this MachineA MachineB Then did a make to update the ypservers map in the /var/yp/domainname directory. I also commented out NOPUSH=TRUE to enable propogation of the maps. On machine B i removed the nis_clientflags, and set the nis_serverflags to "" (which loads up YPSERV) A make from the master results in the following error. "yppush: could not read ypservers map: 3 can't bind to server which serves this domain" Can anybody shed some light ? I'm guessing I have the format of the ypservers file incorrect. I just put the names of the machines I wanted to be servers on seperate lines. TIA -Kurt
