Hi Slugs Thanks to Greg Hosler, Stuart and Marty Richards for their advice. It is greatly appreciated.
I have managed to get the client to successfully listen to the NIS server. I simply stuck linux on another machine and set it up as a client. I did nothing different setup wise - I have no idea why it now works. I still have a problem: I enter a user on the server. I then run /var/yp/make to update. I can then log onto the client as root and I can see the new user in passwd.byname. I use ypcat passwd.byname to see this. The problem is, when I try to login with the new username and password on the client, the client will not authenticate it. Do you guys have any idea what I have overlooked! PS: Marty, I am going to take your advice and ditch Redhat. I am going to get Debian.
