- Although this is the way the manual says to do it, I found , using a cisco
- as a router, that the would-be slave just would not bind across the subnets,
- even after issuing a ypbind -ypsetme.
-
- The solution for me, was simply to copy the maps ( /etc/yp/domainname)
- over to the new machine, and start ypserv, then reboot....then issue a ypinit -m
- on the master, to include the new slave.
