Hi, I'm running two Freebsd 2.2.8 machines as a NIS master (and client of itself!) and NIS client, respectively. I would like to set up the second machine, currently the NIS client only, as a slave master. When I try to start ypserv on the client, it start ok, and doesn't leave any messages in /var/log/messages or anything like that. But, when I do a 'make all' in /var/yp to push the maps to the new slave master, I get: rome# make all Updating passwd.byname... yppush: transfer of map passwd.byname to server alexandria.murdoch.edu.au failed yppush: status returned by ypxfr: Domain not supported by server Pushed passwd.byname map. Updating passwd.byuid... yp_mkdb: duplicate key '0' - skipping yppush: transfer of map passwd.byuid to server alexandria.murdoch.edu.au failed yppush: status returned by ypxfr: Domain not supported by server Pushed passwd.byuid map. make: cannot open ../Makefile. *** Error code 2 Stop. rome# (rome is my NIS master, and alexandria is the slave). I've put alexandria in /var/yp/ypservers and enabled 'push' in /var/yp/Makefile. I assume that I need to tell ypserv on alexandria that it is (a) a slave and (b) that it's master is rome (see the sense in my naming convention? Rome is the middle of my little empire, and the master of all things!), but how do I do this? Thanks for your help in advance, and thanks for a _great_ OS!
