How to remove nis domain ???
 

Dear all,

I successfully configured nis server/client in a network.

Now I want want to remove the nis domain and configure a new nis domain in same server. But, it is not working. I removed ypserv and related files with yum, reinstalled but still it tries to bind to old domain, when I run ypinit.

Any clues ??

Bye

first of all, removing the server and files is a bit extreme merely re-configuring the server should do, but did you tell the CLIENTS about the change?

This is worth a read: http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/w...onfiguring_NIS

Got it after all
 

Thanks all for replying.

But no tutorial or book tells how to remove NIS server and reconfigure.

I figured out
1. Remove nis domain name from /etc/sysconfig/network
2. yum remove ypserv
3. yum purge ypserv
4. rm -rf /var/yp
5. yum install ypserv

and the usual
Earlier I was missing step 4
Bye
