Setting Up a NetWare Server as a NIS Master
1
Copy the NIS related text files required for the domain from the
UNIX machine (which are available in /ETC in UNIX) into
SYS:\ETC\NIS.
2
(Conditional) If you want to set up other NIS server as slave to this NIS
server, do the following:
2a
Create a text file called YPSERV in SYS:\ETC\NIS. For every slave
server enter the hostname of the slave server in this file in the
following format:
slaveserverhostname1 slaveserverhostname1
slaveserverhostname2 slaveserverhostname2
NOTE:
The first field should not be IP Address.
2b
Enter the YPSERVERS map entry in SYS:\ETC\NIS\NISMAKE
with its path in the following format:
YPSERVERS SYS:\ETC\NIS\YPSERV
3
Migrate the domain. For migration information, see
Migration" on page
4
Load NISSERV.NLM. Now the NetWare NIS Server is setup as Master
NIS Server.
5
(Conditional) If the map data in NIS master is modified anytime, and the
changes done needs to be updated in the slave servers immediately then
execute the following command:
yppush domainname
-d
NOTE:
The changes done on the NIS master are automatically updated on the
slave servers periodically.
Setting Up a NetWare Server as NIS Slave Server
1
While setting up the UNIX machine as the master, add the NetWare
server name to the slave server list.
2
In the NetWare server, make sure that the parameter
NIS_CLIENT_ACCESS=1 in the file SYS:\ETC\NFS.CFG.
3
Set the domain to the one that is being served by the UNIX NIS server,
using the following command:
ypset domainname hostname
75.
mapname
