hello senithi,

you can telnet or ssh that unix box and type
"ypwhich" command
it will show you NIS Server / slave name also you can verify
/etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs file it should have NIS_CLIENT="1"
NIS_DOMAIN="domain-name"

let me know how its goes, thanks

Shalom,

Look at /etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs

That will show you the start up settings.

NIS will not start without that configured, and its self explanatory.

Hi Senthil

Please have a look on this file

/etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs

NIS_CLIENT value should be 1 here

Best way is to check whether NIS_CLIENT is set to 1 in the file "/etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs".

domainname command will give you NIS domain you are connected to, if there is one ..

Hi Senthilkumar,

/etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs -> This is the file which controls the NIS client startup.

You can also see the following two process on NIS clients..

keyserv
ypbind

Hi Senthil Kumar,

if "ypbind" "ypwhich" commands exits in your System or Server. could be "either NIS clinet or NIS clinet"

simple:-

below mentioned file will copied over to you /export/home/nisfiles
"/etc/passw" "/etc/group" "/etc/hosts"

The same name as NIS+ tables
If you want only passwords , groups , hosts , home directories to be administered then you need to copy the these files in some other directory - say nisfiles. You can make additional changes here .

#cp /etc/passwd /export/home/nisfiles
#cp /etc/group /export/home/nisfiles
#cp /etc/hosts /export/home/nisfiles

Thanks,
Johnson

Hi,
You can check this on /etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs file.
If the NIS client is not configured,the entry will be like this.


NIS_CLIENT=0
