on your yp server system: chkconfig ypserv on chkconfig yppasswd on
in /etc/sysconfig/network put: NISDOMAIN=yourdomainname check the file /var/yp/Makefile and make any adjustments (I cant remember if I did or not). ypinit -m in /var/yp make host passwd shadow group [netgroup..] as for the yp.conf I have one single line: domain my.domain server myserver I think that covers it. I think the missing NISDOMAIN could be the culpert...do a domainname and see if your domain name shows up. We are heavy into NIS here, but I'm looking into LDAP as a possible better secured solution, maybe you should to before you get tied up into it (just a suggestion). Hope this helps. smbinyon -----Original Message----- From: Gordon Stewart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, March 16, 2002 6:34 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: setting up NIS Dear List I am trying to set up NIS on my machine.

Listening for an NIS domain server: ..........ypwhich: Can't communicate with ypbind can anyone point me n the right direction in solving this. Should I have two items in my /etc/yp.conf for the client and server Thanks Gordon _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
