Hi,
I'm having trouble setting up a NIS server on SuSE Linux 5.1...I've been using the NIS HowTO and the yp commands in O'Reilly's Linux in a Nutshell. Both refer to a ypinit command I cannot find. I found a ypmake command that which sounds like it should do what ypinit does, make the map databases. Has anyone got an NIS server up on 5.1 and, if so, how?
It took me (newbi) about two weeks to figure out how to get the NIS server running. But the "Linux Network Administrator's Guide" written by Olaf Kirch and published by O'Reilly was a great help an I got it up and running.
I think another O'Reilly title, "Managing NFS and NIS" is also helpful for you. See <A HREF="http://www.ora.com"><A HREF="http://www.ora.com</A">http://www.ora.com for more details.
