Cut & Paste Guide to NIS on Red Hat 5.2:
Put the line
NISDOMAIN=(your domain here)
in every single machine's "/etc/sysconfig/network" file.
Make sure the 'ypbind' and 'portmap' packages are installed on each
machine and enabled in runlevel 3. Watch out for ypbind--neither
chkconfig nor rpm will enable it out of the box, you have to say:
/sbin/chkconfig --level 3 ypbind on
You may also need to explicitly name your NIS master's IP address in
/etc/yp.conf:
echo domain (your domain here) server (your NIS master IP address) >>
/etc/yp.conf
or if the machines are all on the same network segment:
echo domain (your domain here) broadcast >> /etc/yp.conf
On the NIS master machine, make sure the 'ypserv' package is installed.
Type:
domainname (your domain here)
mkdir /var/yp/(your domain here)
cd /var/yp
make
This will copy your NIS master's /etc/passwd, /etc/group, /etc/hosts, etc.
into the NIS map for your domain.
Also on the NIS master:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/portmap start
/etc/rc.d/init.d/ypserv start
/etc/rc.d/init.d/ypbind start
ypwhich
The last command should say the name or IP address of your NIS server.
If it doesn't, something has gone wrong.
Reboot everything.
If at this point you don't have a functioning NIS domain, I want to hear
about it.
