ypserver = a NIS server process.

Install the NIS server package from your Linux distribution and you have it.

thanks.Another quick question.how do we find the domain name on redhat linux.

[Matti_Kurkela]

Do you mean the DNS domain name, the NIS domain name or something else?

"man hostname" will describe various ways to query the host name and things related to it: the DNS domain name and the NIS domain name.

Other software packages can define their own "domains" and use names for them. For example, Samba requires/defines the name of a Windows workgroup or domain it associates with. This can be completely unrelated to the DNS and NIS domain names.
