Trying to add a slave server to an existing NIS/YP network ... I did the following to no avail (both existing master and new slave are RedHat 6.2 with ypserv-1.3.9-3, ypbind-3.3-28 and yp-tools-2.4-1) ... On the NIS master server (thor.theseus.com): Change "NOPUSH=true" to "NOPUSH=false" in /var/yp/Makefile Added the slave server FQDN to the /var/yp/ypservers file Ran "make" in /var/yp On the new NIS slaver server (intranet.theseus.com): Ran "/usr/lib/yp/init -s thor.theseus.com I keep getting things similar to the following: thor/var/yp# make [root@thor yp]# make gmake[1]: Entering directory `/var/yp/theseus.com' gmake[1]: `ypservers' is up to date. gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/var/yp/theseus.com' gmake[1]: Entering directory `/var/yp/theseus.com' Updating netid.byname... netid.byname->intranet.theseus.com: Callback timed out gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/var/yp/theseus.com' [root@intranet yp]# /usr/lib/yp/init -s thor.theseus.com Can't enumerate maps from thor. Please check that it is running. I have verified "portmap" and "ypbind" are running on both systems and "ypserv" and "yppasswdd" are running on thor. I have also tried starting (and stopping) "ypserv" on intranet and reran "make" on thor, as well as "init" on intranet. I've also tried not using the FQDN in the /var/yp/ypservers file and after the -s (e.g., just thor and intranet without the .theseus.com attached). The only other issues I can think of are: - I setup /var/yp/securenets on both (correctly I believe) - I have existing Linux 2.2 (all RedHat 6.1/6.2), Solaris 2.6 clients binding to the NIS domain (c/o thor). Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is the first time I have ever tried setting up a slave system, although I have setup a standalone NIS server on RedHat almost a dozen times (although I would say I have yet to get the full sequence of events correct on the first try ;-). -- TheBS P.S. I was wondering where I should put "rpc.ypxfrd" in the "/etc/rc.d/init.d/ypserv" init script on thor if I'd like to use it (before or after "ypserv" starts? and stops?). It looks like I have to manually add it (since the assumed default in the RedHat scripts seem to be for single server setups). Also, any reason why I should or should not use it (either or)? -- Bryan "TheBS" Smith CONTACT INFO *********************************************************** Chat: thebs413 @ AOL/MSN/Yahoo (see http://Everybuddy.com) Email: mailto:thebs@theseus.com,b.j.smith@ieee.org Legal: http://www.SmithConcepts.com/legal.html - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu
