- Hi,
-
- we use DECstations under Ultrix4.1 and 4.2 and machines from other
- vendors. Recently, we bought a new sun. In our environment, we
- distriubute the existence of our new machine via NIS, where
- all servers are suns (this is because otherwise BIND is not supported
- on suns) running SunOS4.1.2. We distribute a NIS-netgroup database,
- which contains entries for all hosts in "somegroup". Our /etc/exports
- can now be connfigured as "/directory somegroup" and everythings fine.
-
- Some NFS-Directories are distributed from Ultrix, which has no "exportfs"
- command to announce changes in the /etc/exports-file. On our other
- machines (Suns and Sgis), there is no problem, but a few days I couldn't
- mount any Ultrix-NFS-server directory to the new sun, there was a
- message like "RPC: invalid client credential" indicating that there
- is no permission. Now everything seems to run.
-
- How can I inform Ultrix from changes in /etc/netgroup of the YP-Server
- and when does Ultrix normally recognize the change?
