Is there a reason for not having a YPINIT program on FreeBSD's NIS Setup ? I am using the NIS/NFS Nutshell book and for both server and client setup it mentions ypinit as the means. I have used the make file and had errors. It appears that : 1) You need the ypserv programm running before you can use the make. 2) You need either a copy or link to the master.passwd file in the /var/yp directory. I under stand the whys/whats about NIS but the setup is confusing since the guide (Managing NIS/NFS) doesn't match up with FreeBSD. Any sugestions/URL's I can use to help with setting this up ? I need to get this running ASAP. And I appreciate any and all help/sugestions that I receieve. Thanks again, in advance.
