Depending on the operating system (the Sun 3.x or the Sun 4.0) on the Sun NIS (YP) server, one of the two following solutions applies.
If the Sun Workstation is running version 3.x of Sun/OS, then two entries need to be added to the /etc/rpc database on the Sun NIS server machine. They are sgi_toolkitbus 391001 and sgi_fam 391002
On the NIS server, enter the command:
cd /usr/etc/yp; make rpc
It may take as much as an hour before the NIS server pushes this information to its clients.
If the Sun Workstation is running version 4.0 of Sun/OS or later, then two entries need to be added to the /etc/rpc database on the Sun NIS server machine. They are sgi_toolkitbus 391001 and sgi_fam 391002.
On the NIS server, type:
cd /var/yp; make rpc
It may take as much as an hour before the NIS server pushes this information to its clients.
Note: If the NIS server machine is neither an SGI or Sun, the same rpc entries must be added, but the syntax may be different.
Chapter 10 describes the Command Monitor, also known as the PROM Monitor. Both the oldstyle PROM monitor and the newer ARCS PROM monitor are described. Topics described in this chapter include:
