Hi:
I have some questions about NIS. I have two machines that 
have installed FreeBSD. I want to use NIS to share 
information, one is master server, and the other is 
client. But when I follow the Handbook's steps to setup, 
there are some problems confusing me:

1.when I use "ypinit -m" to generate the database, the 
services.byname process print many duplicate message, 
like "yp_mkdb:duplicate key 'csdm/tcp' - skipping". Is it 
harmless? If I don't modify the Makefile, how can I solve 
the problem? Edit the services file??

2.When I boot the NIS client, I can't use server side's 
user to login. But when I use local user login, I can 
use "ypcat passwd" and "ypwhich" etc. My client setup 
step are:
(1)edit rc.conf:
    disdomainname="mydomain"
    nis_client_enable="YES"
    nis_client_flag=""
(2)edit host.conf:
    uncomment the nis line.
(3)add +::::::::: to master.passwd, add +:::::: to 
passwd, add +:*:: to group.
(4)reboot
Is anything wrong?


Thank you very much....:)
