NIS MAPS NOT PUSHED TO SLAVE

[brian_31]

Team:

When we add a NIS id i am able to login with that id on the master but not on slave. The Slave is on a different subnet (but that shd not matter as i have ypset to master). I have the the plus and the : in the passwd file and my ypcat ypservers are fine. not sure of what i am missing.

Thanks

When i run ypmake it says everything is up to date. But the maps are not getting pushed to slave.

Thanks

ypmake is only half the battle.

Have you run yppush?

Do you have ypxfr command in your crontab ?

Please see ypxfr and yppushman page for pushing maps to NIS Slave server.

Is the slave in the ypservers map ? Try ypcat -k ypservers and make sure it's listed. If not, cd /var/yp; ypcat -k ypservers > ypservers. Add a line in for the slave, makedbm ypservers `domainname`/ypservers; yppush ypservers, then try touching a NIS propagated file and make sure it get transfers.
