The Sun is running NIS+ in NIS compatibility mode. i have done this... lets look at things one at a time. > Excerpts from /etc/sysconfig ---------------------------- # Set to > the name of your host - this is pretty impor tant! > hostname="clc_rtr.clc.gdeb.com" > > # Set to the NIS domainname of your host, or NO if no ne > defaultdomainname="clc.gdeb.com" > > # Set to appropriate flags if you want to use AMD amdflags=NO Here you should be able to start amd. I use flags like this: amdflags="-r -n -y ferguson -l syslog /ump amd.ump" where -y sets your domain -l sets the type of logging and most importantly... amd.ump sets the file. DO NOT put a leading / on that filename and amd will use the yp version of the map. > #nis_clientflags="-s -S clc.gdeb.com,vfr" > nis_clientflags="NO" You should be able to start yp here. If you are having to comment it out ... that is a YP issue that I have not run into... I tend to use -ypsetme so that I am hard bound to a specific server. I do that because generally the NFS server is the YP server and if they loose the primary YP server, they have lost either home or /usr/local/ in any case. > /defaults type:=nfs eghk rhost:=vfr;rfs:=/export/home;sublink:=eghk ebst > rhost:=vfr;rfs:=/export/home;sublink:=ebst ebhy > rhost:=vfr;rfs:=/export/home;sublink:=ebhy ebj Interesting map.. I do somthing a bit more falmboyant but this reads a bit easier. I also use somthing called /ump which is Universal Mount Point which was introduced at NASA Langely.
