This should be the only unusual thing that is required. The ypbind daemon maintians state in this directory which tells applications that need to get information from the NIS server where to look.

Thanks in advance. for us it was just sufficient to bind mount /var/yp into the chroot environment. Of course, you need to adjust the chroots /etc/passwd, /etc/group and /etc/nssswitch.conf.

chroot with NIS
Hi, I have never set up or used a chroot environment, but am forced to set one up in a new AMD64 system, to be able to run some 32 bit apps such as openoffice.org. I would like to install an easily "reversible" chroot environment; i.e. one that can be removed very easily. I have read some suggestions that setting up a chroot environment with NIS working as a client, and the 64 bit system as a server may be the cleanest way to do this. I have installed NIS, and read its documentation, but being completely inexperienced with it, can't make much sense of it. It would really help if I could see some configuration files (/etc/ypserv.conf, /etc/ypserv.securenets, /etc/default/nis, /etc/yp.conf). I would appreciate it if somebody can share these config files, whether in the context of setting up a chroot or not. Comments on alternatives or critiques would also be very welcome. Thanks in advance. Cheers, -- Seb -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
