I am trying to configure one NIS master server that serves multiple NIS domains. We have this environment configured on HP-UX, however I am having problems doing it in Red Hat Linux. I am able to get the environment to work if I do not have any NIS slave servers. I created a make file for each NIS domain. When I setup the NIS slave servers, I am able to pull updates from the slave server, however I cannot push from the master to the slaves. One thing the complicates the environment is that the master server is a NIS client to another NIS domain which is served from a different NIS master server. So I cannot change the NIS domain reported by the command domainname without breaking other things that are running on the server.
Here is the output when I run the make command. From the error it sounds like the NIS client has to be bound to the NIS master domain you are trying to push files for. I hope this is not the case, because then you could only have one NIS master domain per NIS master server if you want to use slave servers. # make -f Makefile_netmgmtnis gmake[1]: Entering directory `/var/yp/netmgmtnis' gmake[1]: `ypservers' is up to date. gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/var/yp/netmgmtnis' gmake[1]: Entering directory `/var/yp/netmgmtnis' Updating passwd.byname... YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN: Domain not bound Could not read ypservers map: 3 Can't bind to server which serves this domain Updating passwd.byuid... YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN: Domain not bound Could not read ypservers map: 3 Can't bind to server which serves this domain gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/var/yp/netmgmtnis' Any help would be appreciated. thanks, Chris -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
