These are 2.1.6.1, SunOS 4.1.3_U1, IRIX 5.3 and HP-UX 9 machines. Apart from the warnings when running make in /var/yp concerning the duplicate entries in /etc/services, the 2.1.6.1 machine complains about errors when transferring the services maps. The SunOS machine didn't even start to transfer the maps when running ypinit -s master-server. I have edited the Makefile (NOPUSH and UNSECURE, etc.). I have also changed the rules for building the services maps which otherwise breaks when processing the ddp entries for netatalk. When running an SGI with IRIX 5.3 as master everything works as expected. Is there a good manual how to get things running, or has somebody already managed to run NIS with one or more slave servers of the types mentioned above? Thanks for any hints... -Andre (without any clues)
