NIS configuration

[sudhir_3]

Hello Admins
I want to configure my hp-ux 11i v2 (server rx2600) as NFS client. I need the steps to configure the above mentioned server as NFS client. I am not able to find the configuration file where I can set NIS_CLIENT valuer i.e 1.
Any help is highly appreciated and will be assigned points.
Thanks sudhir

Hi,

This setting can be found:

/etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf

nfsconf file is having only option for NFS_CLIENT and NFS_SERVER but not having NIS_CLIENT or NIS_SERVER. so should I edit nfsconf file and add the NIS_CLIENT line to nfsconf.

Thanks

Hi,

To anable a server as a NIS client you can use the ypinit -c command ( man ypinit).

Hi,

You can set NISCLIENT in /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf, but that does not work...(stable) But in namesvrs in the same dir. it will work.
to initialise your server as a NIS client do:

set domainname
and do a ypinit -c
and alter /etc/resolv.conf for NIS use
