I have a small problem with ypbind. Master NIS server is running at 192.168.1.100 (network 192.168.96/255.255.255.224) and client machine is at 192.168.1.37 (network 192.168.1.32/255.255.255.224).
When I start ypbind it tries to find out master server by broadcasts, even if I specify domain and server with 'ypbind -S office,192.168.1.100'. I have also placed following info into /etc/yp.conf: domain office nisserver 192.168.1.100 But I assume /etc/yp.conf doesn't do anything because Debian 1.3.0 doesn't have NIS support compiled into C-library. I found syntax of /etc/nsswitch.conf a bit confusing too, but I assume following entries enable NIS lookups for passwd and group: passwd: files db group: files db I other systems I've seen 'db' replaced with 'nis', but this should do same thing? Maybe someone has solved my problem and has been able to use NIS server from another subnetwork? -- Sami Laine -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
