Solaris 10 NIS Compatibility

[blueeyedme]

Hi,

We are planning to upgrade our solaris 8 machines to solaris 10.
We have one server being nis master running solaris 8. My question. Is Solaris 8 able to nis master a solaris 10 client temporarely, or should i do it the other way around making sure the nis master goes to solaris 10 first?
I am asking this to make a plan on which server to do first in this upgrading process.

thanks and best regards,

Jeroen

I have no problems with a NIS master on Sol9 and Sol10 clients so don't see any reason why it should make any difference.

Ok, Thanks

Since this is an older thread I'm assuming you've already figured this out, but just in case you didn't, we had many Sol 10 clients running off of a Solaris 8 NIS master, with Solaris 8 NIS slaves. We eventually upgraded the master, and all still went well.
