Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII X-MDaemon-Deliver-To: questions@freebsd.org X-Return-Path: gill@topsecret.net Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello. I am attempting to set up NIS on my network. One machine as a Master Server, one machine as a Slave Server and a few client servers. So far, the handbook instructions seem to work well, the ypinit functions happened as expected at least. I have a question about how to keep the slave servers updated. In the handbook section there is a reference to "...entries on your slave servers should do the job: 20 * * * * root /usr/libexec/ypxfr passwd.byname 21 * * * * root /usr/libexec/ypxfr passwd.byuid" The handbook does not indicate where these two lines should go. Where should these lines go and could you include a short paragraph explaining a little more about what their inclusion will do/change?
