I need documentation on NIS client for an RH Enterprise 5.3 system.
Also please send any suggestions as to what we have misconfigured on
our client.
We have a 2.6.18-128.1.1.el5xen system on which we are trying to
configure NIS client software.
Our NIS server is a Solaris system running SunOS 5.8.
I changed the active contents of /etc/nsswitch.conf to
# /etc/nsswitch.conf
passwd: files nis
shadow: files nis
group: files nis
hosts: files nisplus nis dns
bootparams: nis files
services: files networks:
files protocols: files
rpc: files
ethers: files
netmasks: files
netgroup: nisplus
bootparams: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
publickey: nisplus
automount: files
aliases: files nisplus
I changed the active contents of /etc/yp.conf to
ypserver ourserversname
domain ourdomainname
/etc/sysconfig/network contains
NETWORKING_IPV6=no
HOSTNAME=client.dept.brown.edu
NETWORKING=yes
GATEWAY=128.148.nnn.1
NISDOMAIN=ourdomainname
"ypbind" works. However when it is running the network seems slower.
"ypcat -k passwd" works, but I can't log into the client system with
my account which is on the server.
