No answer the first time, so I thought that I'd try again. "Stephen P. Molnar, Ph.D." wrote:
I have a two node, dual boot LAN. At this point, if one machine is running SuSE v6.3 and the other Windows 95 they can communicate via Samba which is convenient for som of my computational work. However I want the two nodes to communicate when they are both running Linux. Therefore, I installed ypclient and attempted to configure the service using yast.
On boot, to init 2, I get the message 'ypbind . . . . . . no NIS serve found'
I'm sure that the answer is going to be a red faced forehead slapper, but what have I done incorrectly, or what haven't done correctly?
Thanks in advance.

I don't think YP/NIS is what you wish. And your answer is in the error message,you have no NIS server installed and configured. You should read the NIS Howto.

Was it enabled through the rc.config file on the client and server? It's not by default if I recall. You will also want to modify the /var/yp/Makefile and run make to recompile it with your changes. Also, if all you want is access to each other, you may be better off with NFS rather then NIS. In a nutshell, NFS is a way to share harddrives on multiple computers (similar to samba) NIS allows you to share system config files to actual NIS clients, ie: /etc/passwd, /etc/hosts, /etc/group, /etc/shadow, /etc/aliases, etc.. sm> "Stephen P.
