Is there a reason for not having a YPINIT program on FreeBSD's NIS Setup ?
I am using the NIS/NFS Nutshell book and for both server and
client setup it mentions ypinit as the means.
I have used the make file and had errors. It appears that :
1) You need the ypserv programm running before you can use the make.
2) You need either a copy or link to the master.passwd file in
the /var/yp directory.
I under stand the whys/whats about NIS but the setup is confusing
since the guide (Managing NIS/NFS) doesn't match up with FreeBSD.
Any sugestions/URL's I can use to help with setting this up ? I
need to get this running ASAP. And I appreciate any and all
help/sugestions that I receieve.
Thanks again, in advance.
