NIS domain AAA not bound

[Sharon Bi_4]

Hi Everybody,

We have an NIS domain here. The network guy change one of the client's IP to
another network segment. ( change from 55.219.x.x to 55.9.y.y ) But the NIS
master, slave and other clients' IP remain the same. On this particular
client, after I did a ypbind, I checked ypwhich . It gives me the error
message: NIS domain AAA not bound.

I have changed all the related hosts information of both this client and the
master.

Does anybody know how to fix it? Thanks in advance!

An NIS client gets its configuration information from an NIS master server or
an NIS slave server. When an NIS client is started, it sends out a broadcast
message requesting a server. Any server on the client's network that holds the
NIS maps for the client's domain may respond to the message. The NIS client
"binds" to the first server to respond to its broadcast message, and that
server answers all the client's queries for information.

Check to see if the nis client is in the same subnet as the master.
NIS works based on broadcast response. If the master is in a different
subnet then you will need to define that information in the file:
/etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs

modify:

YPBIND_OPTIONS="-ypset"
YPSET_ADDR=ip_address_of_the_master_server

stop / start the nis client:

/sbin/init.d/nis.client stop
/sbin/init.d/nis.client start
