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
Start NISSERV.
5
(Conditional)You can use the YPPUSH utility to update the Slave NIS
Server.
The YPPUSH utility copies a new version of the named NIS map from
the master NIS server to the slave NIS servers. The YPPUSH utility is
normally run only on the master NIS server after the master databases are
changed and the changes need to be updated in the NIS slave servers
immediately. The YPPUSH utility first constructs a list of NIS slave
server hosts by reading the NIS map Ypservers within the same domain.
Then a transfer map request is sent to the NIS server on each host.
