NIS Master / Slave

2007-12-25 11:26:00

I had sent this Summary before, but I'm receiving mails asking for the

Summary.

May be the earlier Summary is some where in a black hole on my network.

(We had a email server crash couple of weeks earlier)

If the slave server is setup correctly then it should serve NIS when

the

master is down. That's the whole idea of having a slave server. Well it

makes sense.

Thanks to many responses.

Things to verify:

ypserv should be running on the slave.

Make sure the slave is ypbinding to itself, and not the master. Check

/var/yp/binding/your.domain/ypservers. If it does not exist, create it

with the name of your slave server in it. If you bind to the master,

the slave will hang when the master goes down.

=> This is what happened in my case.

Thanks again.

jeany.
