YP

[Stuart Lloyd_2]

What file tells an HP11i where to find a yp server?
Results of ypwhich are:
clnt_create error: rpc: unknown host

[Mark Grant]

well actually "ypset" does that but it looks like you might have another issue. You have to set it up as a NIS client. The easiest way to do that (for me at least) is with sam.

Hi Stuart,

Try this for a nis configuration,

http://docs.hp.com/cgi-bin/fsearch/framedisplay?top=/hpux/onlinedocs/B1031-90054/B1031-90054_top.html&con=/hpux/onlinedocs/B1031-90054/00/00/19-con.html&toc=/hpux/onlinedocs/B1031-90054/00/00/19-toc.html&searchterms=nis&queryid=20040526-115420

Hope this helps.

Hi Stuart,

Could you check your /etc/nsswitch.conf if it is adapted to use nis ?

I don't have an nsswitch.conf file. But there is an nsswitch.nis.

cp the nsswitch.nis to nsswitch.conf
