NIS Problem

[Patricia Tang]

Hi All,

My NIS Master Server is in Linux Red Hat.
When i try to setup client in HP_UX11 by using /usr/sbin/ypinit -s NIS-Master-Server DOM=domain-name, i encouter problem of "NIS-Master-Sever: RPC: Program not registered
ypxfr: can't mv /tmp/AAAa13412.pag to /var/yp/domain-name/passwd.byname.pag
ypxfr: rename error: couldn't mv /tmp/AAAa13412 to /var/yp/domain-name/passwd.byname.

Anyone of you know what's wrong with it?
* None of the map is successful tranfer.

Please advise.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Pat

To setup a slave NIS server, you must copy all the NIS maps from the master server to the slave server manully, then you can ypxfr(yp transfer) to update all NIS maps on slave server.

You can check this :

1,When you setup the NIS slave server ,the master NIS server daemon must be running .

2.Check the /etc/rpc file , it'd better the same both on linux and hpux

After running ypinit -c on the client, run ypinit -s
This will create all the maps properly.
And then you should not have time outs on ypxfr.
