I am trying to configure a slave NIS server. Irrespective of what I try, nothing works. I am running a master on a machine called numbat.cs.uwa.edu.au (aliased to nis.cs.uwa.edu.au). The version of ypserv is ypserv-1.3.9-3. I am running the same version on the machine I want to make a slave. In /var/yp/Makefile I have changed the value to NOPUSH=false and I have added both master and slave to the /var/yp/ypserver files on master and slave. I have restarted ypserv on master and slave. When I try to set the slave I get the response below. #> /usr/lib/yp/ypinit -s nis.cs.uwa.edu.au Can't enumerate maps from nis.cs.uwa.edu.au. Please check that it is running. But the master is definitively running. On master and host, this command gives the following output. rpcinfo -u localhost ypserv program 100004 version 1 ready and waiting program 100004 version 2 ready and waiting and ypwhich -m on the slave points to the master (numbat): #> ypwhich -m mail.aliases numbat netgroup.byuser numbat netgroup.byhost numbat netgroup numbat protocols.bynumber numbat netid.byname wombat services.byname numbat rpc.bynumber numbat rpc.byname numbat hosts.byaddr numbat hosts.byname numbat group.bygid numbat group.byname numbat passwd.byname numbat protocols.byname numbat ypservers numbat passwd.byuid numbat I really would like to solve this. Any help will be most appreciated Thanks Hugo -- Dr Hugo Bouckaert - Systems Administrator, Computer Science UWA Tel: +(61 8) 9380 2878 / Fax: +(61 8) 9380 1089 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / Web: http://www.cs.uwa.edu.au/~hugo
