you should configure slave server with:
/usr/lib/yp/ypinit -s

Dear Alexander thanks a lot for the help n support.

did u mean that i should not provide the master's ip, i.e just '#usr/lib/yp/ypinit -s", and not the "#/usr/lib/yp/ypinit -s master's ip" ?

and one more thing to ask, i once heard or read somewhere that on nis slave servers no service is require to run .. is it true ?

Thanks n Regards
Maaz

in order to prevent the error message:
add the ip address of nis server to /etc/hosts
of slave server

you should start services on slave server otherwise the client won't be able to connect to it

Dear Alexander, I m really very thankful to u for the support.

yes Alexander, as u mentioned I just have to configure /etc/host file at slave server, and instead of providing IP of the master server, when I provide the name of the master server, the slave server configure smoothly.

Thanks a lot Dear Srikanth A for the reply/support.

Thanks Forum
