NIS Question.

Team:

We have currently 2 L class servers running 11.0 on one subnet (A&B A is the master and B the slave). One the other subnet we have (C&D C is the master and D the slave). Now we want to make A the master of D and B the master of C. One issue that would come up is i have to move B&D to diff subnets. But my question is how would i preserve the current password list on B and transfer it to D,
Pl Help

Thanks

Joe.

Move the passwd map and re-make it once you have the new NIS server (B) setup on the different subnet.

Hi,
Don't ou want to have one master (A) for everything ?
You have to have NIS server in each subnet, in this case you have to do nothing.
You can define A as master-server, B as slave-server, C and D as NIS-clients.
