I am using CentOS5.2 and I have made NIS server

NIS server configuration

"vi /etc/sysconfig/network" I edit NISDOMAIN=rhel.com

then I have restart my computer, after I login again i typed

"nisdomainname" to check domain name it was none, then I give temporary nisdomainname i typed "nisdomainname rhel.com"

Next step I enter into /var/yp/ to configure

"/usr/lib/yp/ypinit -m" to make master server, after this it ask me to add another host i type ctrl+d then "yes" to configure then I found this error below



Is this correct? [y/n: y] y

rahil has been set up as a NIS master server.

Now you can run ypinit -s rahil on all slave server.



then I restart ypserv, then again I run same command to configure as master
