user creation in NIS server.

[senthil_kumar_1]

Hi

I am running NIS server in HP-UX 11.00.
some suse linux and HP-UX are configured with NIS client connecting this NIS server.

I have created new user in NIS server with "useradd" command.

I am able to login this user in NIS server. but I am not able to login this new user from NIS client.

But I can login all users from NIS client . they are already available in NIS server.

do i have to do any other configuration changes apart from creating users using
"useradd"?

Hi Senthilkumar,

After adding the users, you need to run # /var/yp/ypmake command to update the NIS database.

If you go through sam you will have option to add NIS users that will directly add the users into NIS database
