Hello, I am new to FreeBSD and I have the following question: I am trying to set a FreeBSD 4.5 to act as a NIS server and I followed the directions from the Handbook. The only thing that I can't understand is how the file /var/yp/master.passwd will be updated every time I add a user to my NIS master server. I noticed that I can change the location in the Makefile but according to the Handbook this is not recomended. Does this mean that I have to copy /etc/master.passwd to /var/yp/master.passwd (and delete the nologin user accounts) every time I add a user? Or do I just point Makefile to use /etc/master.passwd and everything is fine? Thanks in advance, george To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
