NIS map for locale
2007-12-25 11:05:00
The mistake I did was as follows: in /var/adm/Makefile
| $(MAKEDBM) - $(YPDBDIR)/$(DOM)/locale; \
and the correct answer is
| $(MAKEDBM) - $(YPDBDIR)/$(DOM)/locale.byname; \
The summary of the solution :
Edit /var/adm/Makefile, and do the following changes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
all: passwd group hosts ethers networks rpc services protocols \
netgroup bootparams aliases publickey netid netmasks c2secure \
timezone auto.master auto.home auto.direct locale
locale.time: $(DIR)/locale
-@if [ -f $(DIR)/locale ]; then \
sed -e "/^#/d" -e s/#.*$$// $(DIR)/locale \
| awk '{for (i = 2; i <=NF; i++ ) print $$i, $$0}' \
| $(MAKEDBM) - $(YPDBDIR)/$(DOM)/locale.byname; \
touch locale.time; \
echo "Updated locale"; \
if [ ! $(NOPUSH) ]; then \
$(YPPUSH) locale.time; \
echo "Pushed locale"; \
else \
: ; \
fi \
else \
echo "Couldn't find $(DIR)/locale"; \
fi
locale: locale.time
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
and recreate the NIS maps:
# cd /var/yp ; make
and the system's NIS map for locale is working fine.
