I have a new problem though. We are setting up a cluster using NIS for
password authentication, with the master node of the cluster as an NIS slave
server and the rest of the cluster getting their NIS maps from that node. We
are only using 2 nodes at the moment and are going to ghost the images onto
the rest of the cluster when the setup is satisfactory.
Anyway, If I reboot the cluster, (just the compute node, not the NIS slave
node) the node loses it's NIS connection. On boot it doesn't set it's
domainname or start ypbind. The logs don't even show ypbind starting! I have
to manually do the following:
[root@clone /]# domainname cluster [root@clone /]# /etc/init.d/ypbind start Binding to the NIS domain: [ OK ] Listening for an NIS domain server.. [root@clone /]# ypwhich NISslaveserv [root@clone /]# /etc/init.d/autofs reload Checking for changes to /etc/auto.master .... Start /usr/sbin/automount /newhome yp auto.home -nosuid
This seems to be a long-winded way of doing things. Our other RH box (not a
cluster machine) starts NIS with no problems. Has anyone else come across
this problem? It is a headless node running in init 3. This shouldn't have
any effect should it?

I'm glad you apologized for that sig, now how about apologizing for NOT googling first. The command you want to read the man pages for is chkconfig. It will manage all the rc runlevels for you. Make sure that ypbind is set to on for runlevel 3. As to setting a persistent domainname, here's what i posted to the list yesterday (to the same question!)
Edit the file /etc/sysconfig/network add a line that reads: NISDOMAIN=mygroup or whatever your domain is called
