Nothing special. Just make sure that ypbind is started on the Linux box.

Thanks again David -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Paul Crossman Sent: Wednesday, June 23, 2004 6:55 AM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: RE: Windows Services for Unix 3.5 Is the windows box on a different network and are you broadcasting for the NIS server on the Linux box? If you are, it will never work. If your NIS server is on a different subnet (i.e. outside the netmask), you'll never see it via a NIS broadcast. If you haven't, try specifying the windows box explicitly and see if that works. BTW, how did you get Win3k 995 some odd years early? How slow does it run on this primitive technology? :) Sorry... Couldn't resist and I could have gone on for pages and pages with this. :) Paul C. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David Saldana Sent: Tuesday, June 22, 2004 5:45 PM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Windows Services for Unix 3.5 Hi All, I have installed Windows services for Unix in My Windows 3k server and I want it to serve as a NIS server but when I try to point the Linux machine to use the windows NIS server it said it can not contact the server, I have check the configuration in windows and everything seems to be fine and all the processes are running so I don't know if I am missing something in the Linux side. Does anybody know what needs to be done to make this work?
