Thanks for the help!
I've gotten NIS to function on the master server, and I've succeeded in
getting another FBSD box to work as a client. Now, I'm trying to get
this second box to work as a SLAVE server.
Here's what I did:
1. On the slave:
a. start ypserv
2. On the master:
a. edit /var/yp/Makefile and commented out NOPUSH="True"
b. edit /var/yp/ypservers and added name of slave.
Does this have to be in some special format?
c. touch /var/yp/master.passwd
d. make
make starts to update the files, as it should, but then dies
when it calls (apparantly) yppush. Here's the output
Updating hosts.byname...
Usage: /usr/bin/yppush [ -d domain ] [ -v ] mapname ...
*** Error code 1
Stop.
*** Error code 1
Stop.
What do I do now?
Thanks for the help,
