"can't add slave: Permission denied" error message when creating NIS+ root replica server

[Ruslan Amalatov]

Hello,

I am trying to configure NIS+ environment for test purposes. Below is the actions I fullfiled according to documentation from docs.hp.com for NIS+:
1. Installed NIS+ root master server - OK
2. Installed NIS+ client on a server that is supposed to be NIS+ root replica server - OK
3. Tried to install root replica server
# nismkdir -s replserv mydomain. - command failed w/ the error message "can't add slave: Permission denied."


The NIS+ Troubleshooting Guide says this message appears when rpc.nisd is not running on the replica server. I have made sure the rpc.nisd process is running, but still get the error.

Any suggestions?
