hi, i am trying to setup nis on my lan. i have read the nis howto. have started the time and portmap services on server as well as all clients. i have setup the nis server ypserv and yppasswdd on one machine with address 192.168.0.6. i have also started the ypbind on that machine. now when i do ypwhich and ypcat hosts or ypcat passwd on that machine it gives right results. but other machines which have properly configured ypbind service are not able to bind to the domain. i am using redhat linux 7.2. /etc/yp.conf file on clients has following contents:
ypserver 192.168.0.6 i also tried the following for the yp.conf domain mydomain server 192.168.0.6. also i replaced the ipaddress in above line with hostname after adding the hostname in /etc/hosts file on the clients. but it does not work still. the clients are able to telnet the server with the hostname of server also. what could be the problem. any idea anybudy. do i have to setup the /etc/passwd file with some special entries or what. please help. madhuri __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
