I've notice some strange behaviour about NIS. I'm using a slackware 9.1 box with slackware-current updates.
I've configured a server and ran make under /var/yp and then tried 'ypcat passwd' and 'ypcat group' on a client machine; It retrieved the passwd file correctly, but the group was empty. Later I ran 'ypmake' and the 'ypcat group' on the client side dumped the information.
And when I change the password on the server machine, I must run make under /var/yp, ypmake does'nt update the NIS passwd database.
So, my question is: Am I doind something wrong, or NIS is not behaving as it should... here?
version information:
yp-tools-2.8 ypbind-mt-1.17.2 ypmake-0.11 ypserv-2.12.1
Thanks, Mauricio
