NIS question

[cspilman]

I have a NIS master with an unknown number of NIS clients. What command (if any) can I issue on the NIS master to find out how many and what NIS clients I have on my domain?

Is there an equivilent to 'ypwhich', but that will give the clients as opposed to the NIS master?
Regards,
Chuck

All the clients should be in /etc/netgroup. Too bad I.T. is not cash business

I do not have an /etc/netgroup file. Any other suggestions? Regards,

look in nis itself!
you should have a table.
i use NIS+ and don't remember the syntax to list all tables
my be yp[match|cat] -m ???

I can do a 'ypcat hosts.byname' which I thought would give me the correct information but if that is the command I would use, it is incomplete because the list that is displayed by issuing that is missing a few clients that I know for sure are using this NIS server.

I can also issue 'ypcat hosts.byaddr' and get similar output.

What am I missing here? Regards,
