Hi,

ypinit is used only on master and slave server, on client you need to enable the NIS flags in /etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs file

and also in the same file
set
YPBIND_OPTIONS="-ypset"

YPSET_ADDR=""

after savinf the file
#/sbin/init.d/nis.client start
#/var/yp/ypmake

Hi,

in/etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs file . set only the NIS_CLIENT flag to 1 and NIS_SERVER must be 0

[Shannon Petry]

There is no "-c" option in HP-UX. There are 2 ways to configure NIS on an HP, and both are valid.

1. Use SAM -->Network and Communications --> NIS

2. Edit the /etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs file. Set the client to 1, and make sure to fill in the domain name entry.

You may also want to copy the /etc/nsswitch.nis to /etc/nsswitch.conf.

Shannon

Actually the -c flag does work but you must apply PHNE_24910 (or later) AND THEN
copy /usr/newconfig/usr/sbin/ypinit to /usr/sbin/ypinit. I did this just a few weeks ago myself.
