Solaris 8: NIS client but not ypserv server
- Thread starter Job317
- Start date
Try this as root.
ypstop // Stop YP Service
ypinit -c // Initialize YP Client Services
Enter the name of the NIS server you are going to use
Modify /etc/inet/hosts and add the NIS server name and IP Address
Copy /etc/nsswitch.nis to /etc/nsswitch.conf
You may have to modify the /etc/auto_home file to remove any automounts listed. The only entry need on an NIS client is +auto_home
Also if you have entries in /etc/passwd /etc/group /etc/netgroup, comment out NIS entries.
