Hi,
Iam setting up a network using Linux machines in Lab.I have around
7Linux boxes running RHL-6.1. They are networked to a server for
password and user authentication using yp password concept. The server
is:
192.168.1.253 Shakti.aeie_imp.rec.ori.nic.in
I have done the settingsas needed. NBut when I run the Makefile for
building the database for passwordsand usernames I get following errors.
The listing is as under:
========================
[root@Shakti]/usr/lib/yp/ypinit -m
At this point, we have to construct a list of the hosts which will run
NIS
servers. Shakti.aeie_imp.rec.ori.nic.in is in the list of NIS server
hosts. Please continue to add
the names for the other hosts, one per line. When you are done with the
list, type a <control D>.
next host to add: Shakti.aeie_imp.rec.ori.nic.in
next host to add:
The current list of NIS servers looks like this:
Shakti.aeie_imp.rec.ori.nic.in
Is this correct? [y/n: y] y
We need some minutes to build the databases...

===========================================================
Any idea about why I get this error. Earlier I could manage to get a
RHL6.1 server work with this concept. Any help will be very helpful.
Thanks oin advance for the suggestions.
