I have been there, I have done that.

Luckily my server is next door :)

Unless you have an account on that master server that is not depending
on NIS, I see no way.

Bests,

NIS oops

2010-01-20 Thread Aryeh M. Friedman
I set up and tested NIS on our new master server then rebooted and it 
failed to come up... it is not possible for me to get physical access 
(or anyone else for that matter) until tommorow afternoon... is there 
any way to use an other machine on the net to kick start it (NFS mount 
attempts to it also hang)
