I am in the process of upgrading a NIS master using version 2.1.0 to version 3.2. The 'Makefile' has been customized to include automount maps for our IRIX machines as was the 'Makefile' in the old NIS Master. The problem is that for some reason the program 'yp_mkdb' in 3.2 is much more picky. It does not tolerate lines as such: nschein -rw,intr nister:/usr/home:& It complains when it encounters the '-' if removed it works fine. Also it has problems with the '+' and absence of a whitespace following the first ASCI string in the following line: +auto.home What has changed in yp_mkdb? Is there a way to escape certain symbols? I have already tried \ '' "". Or is there another way to make the database file?
