I'm having a little bit of trouble bringing in another server to act as an NIS slave server. We're running OK now with one NIS master and a couple of clients. Machine A is the server, and B and C are the clients. What would I need to do to convert B into a secondary slave server ? I'm not quite sure as to the format of the ypservers file on the master machine, and the flags necessary to bring up the slave in slave mode. I tried creating a ypservers file with A and B on seperate lines, redid the NIS maps. (took a quick look at ypservers with 'yp_mkdb -u ypservers' to see that information had changed, rebooted the machines and discovered that the client could not NIS from the master. I think maybe machine B jumped in and grabbed machine C's ypbind request but didn't have the maps from which to serve. I could use a little nudge in the right direction, I think I'm on the right track. -Kurt
