You probably have a message saying "Changing the binding is not allowed." Glancing at the man page for ypset it looks like it will only work if ypbind is run with the "-ypset" or "-ypsetme" options (which the ypbind man page discourages). Does running "authconfig" and specifying the server work for you? -Steve -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andrew.Bridgeman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, August 18, 2004 9:59 AM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Binding to a different NIS Server I am having an issue with one of my Redhat machines as it is binding to the Slave NIS server and i need it to bind to the Master. I have tried doing a ypset but it will not change over . I currently have a issue with my Unix Slave NIS server which is why i need to change it to the master to get the users up and running properly again. I have got 15 other Redhat machines and they are all fine because they are bound to the Master. Has anyone got any ideas on what i could try next , any help would be much appreciated.
