- Need to understand why I get following error when trying to set up a
- YPslave:
-
- The Master has been preconfigured for some time now. I have just updated the
- ypservers map on the master by the following method:
-
- ypcat -k ypservers > /tmp/ypservers
- vi /tmp/ypservers
- cat /tmp/ypservers | makedbm - /var/yp/`domainname`/ypservers
-
- when I attempt to ypinit my server using:
-
- ypinit -s masterhost
-
- I get the following complaint:
-
- yp_dump error: can't bind to domainname : NIS internal error on Server or
- Client.
-
- If anyone is acquainted with this NIS error please notify me.
-
- Thanks In Advance,
