A small questions regarding NIS: Do I really need to put the master server in the file ypserver. From reading the man pages, I believe that only yppush uses this file, and uses it when pushing maps to slave servers. Since adding a slave, I get this message every time I do a make in /var/yp: Updating group.byname... yppush: transfer of map group.byname to server master.partitur.se failed yppush: status returned by ypxfr: Master's version not newer 'master.partitur.se' is the master server, and the master is itself a client (i.e. the password file is in /var/yp and access is limited using netgroups). This is FreeBSD 2.2.7. Probably I'm wrong ;-) There should be other users for this file; it's also a NIS map. But then maybe the Makefile is not correct?
