Nis binding

[amar_12]

I have Sun servers as NIS master and slave( Ver 5.8) and I also have HP UX C8000 workstations
running 11.11. These HPUX boxes are not binding to primary master NIS server. They bind to NIS slave
by default if I shutdown slave it will bind to NIS master.

Anybody can help in this ?

Regards

Amar ypbind finds out the server running ypserv through network broadcast. Probably all HP machines are getting response from your slave server first. This may have some relations to your nework design and where these HP machines are located.

hi,

agree with Sudeesh... should be some network problem.

set the primary server address in /etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs

YPBIND_OPTIONS="-ypset"
YPSET_ADDR="[primary server]"

GOOD LUCK!!

Thanks for support
I myself found answer for that.
in /etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs I did the following changes
YP_BIND OPTIONS = " -ypset"
YP_BIND_ADDR="master server IP"

then the problem is solved

Thankx
