Hi,
I am having a real brainbender of a problem here. I think I've
missed some major stages.
OS FBSD 2.1.5
I have a server on my network that I believe is configured as a master nis
passwd server. But I need a way of checking really.
However I do not seem to be able to get my nis client machine to work.
I have added +:::::::: to /etc/passwd (vipw)
and +::: to /etc/group
I don;t believe I have to make anything under /var/yp, but if I do try it says
that it cannot find /etc/defaultdomain/master.passwd.byname - HUH?
executing ypbind with 'any' options just returns the prompt with no errors
of reports ?
and ypset cat yp_bind as ypbind doesn't seem to have stayed up.
What I could really do with is a check list ofr the configuration.
Any help is much appreciated. Thank you VERY much.
Cheers,
Neil
