- SUNers,
-
-
- I have a strange request that's PROBABLY in the FAQ, but not knowing
- where to find that (always a chicken and egg scenario, you have
- a FAQ, but need the FAQ to find the answer, but have to ask
- where the FAQ is which is, itself, an FAQ!).
-
-
- We have set up a YPMASTER, but now we want to set up some
- YP slaves. Problem: How do we regularly update the slaves
- from the master (which runs yppasswdd so all passwd are changed
- there). I suppose we could run ypxfr, except that some of the
- machines slated to be YP slaves don't have ypxfr (we don't
- own a source license either...:-( ).
-
-
- So, what I thought I'd do:
-
- On a designated slave:
-
- ypserv -s
-
- But then the machine answered that it's not in the
- ypserver map! OK, so how do I add something to a server
- map, when it's not a server yet?
-
- Do most people use cron to "push" the maps out to ypsalve servers?
-
-
- Any advice on this problem is greatly welcome!
-
- Thanks in advance!
