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?
