nis map

bossuyt_2 — Tue, 09 Oct 2001 12:51:47 GMT

I built a nis server in HP-UX 10.20
I use ypinit to create /var/yp with a domain name
I want to add new map ( like auto_home ) in my config. so I modify the script /var/yp/ypmake.
I modify also /var/yp/Makefile
I create /etc/auto_home
I create /etc/auto_master
When I use ypmake to propagate maps I don't see my new map in /var/yp/domain name
I verify if my modifs are corrects in ypmake
Where is Makefile used ?
What I do to verify if maps corect ?

Thanks for answers ,

Hi:

The very first thing to do is check the auto.master map on the master server.

ypcat auto.master

Hi Bossuyt,
This is not regular map so you might have to use name like auto_home.byname

Mostly you go to /var/yp and run
#make mapname (this will use Makefile)

But If you want to use ypmake then
#ypmake DIR=/etc DOM=nis-domain-name NOPUSH=1 mapname
(NOPUSH=1 will not try to push this map in to slave servers)
Check /var/yp/doaminame directory for map.
