Re: NIS problem..

Hi,

that is the normal and expected behaviour and is not related to the OS version of your (single) NIS server.
That's the reason, why redundancy of NIS servers is recommended.

Re: NIS problem..

You might want to setup a NIS slave server, which could the clients alternatively bind to. You can refer to this document, http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/NIS-HOWTO/ypserv.html, it is primarily for Linux but usable for HP-UX as well.

Also see man 1M ypinit, -s option.

Rgds, Jan
