Thanks Garrett, The master and client both have the same output: $ svcs -av | grep rpc disabled - 20:29:26 - svc:/network/rpc/nisplus:default disabled - 20:29:26 - svc:/network/rpc/keyserv:default disabled - 20:29:47 - svc:/network/rpc/meta:default disabled - 20:29:47 - svc:/network/rpc/wall:default disabled - 20:29:47 - svc:/network/rpc/mdcomm:default disabled - 20:29:48 - svc:/network/rpc/rusers:default disabled - 20:29:48 - svc:/network/rpc/rstat:default disabled - 20:29:48 - svc:/network/rpc/rex:default disabled - 20:29:48 - svc:/network/rpc/metamed:default disabled - 20:29:48 - svc:/network/rpc/metamh:default disabled - 20:29:48 - svc:/network/rpc/spray:default online - 20:29:41 57 svc:/network/rpc/bind:default online - 20:29:48 - svc:/network/rpc/gss:default online - 20:29:48 - svc:/network/rpc/smserver:default
I think I'll scratch both VMs and start over, just to make sure I've not done anything silly. I will do the following to create the master - Add all machines to hosts file - Install SUNWyp - Create the domainname - Touch ethers, bootparams and netgroup in /etc - Copy nsswitch.nis over nsswitch.conf - Run ypinit -m - Make sure nis/ client and nis/server are up and running On the client I will then: - Add master to hosts file - Install SUNWyp - Create the domainname (same as master) - Copy nsswitch.nis over nsswitch.conf - Run ypinit -c and input master IP Hopefully that will work? I'm seeing different things to share home directories on Solaris and OpenSolaris. Some sources suggets I need to edit /etc/auto_home, others don't mention it. Some sources say use `share -d "share name" /path/to/share`, others say I should use `sharemgr` and others say use `zfs sharenfs=rw /path/to/share`. And nowhere does it say that I need to do this just on the server, or just on the client(s) or whether I have to do any of that on both... What is the correct procedure for OpenSolaris? Many thanks for your interest and help so far Garrett :) Ben -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
