Binding to a different NIS Server

[Rigler, Steve]

Look in messages.  You probably have a message saying "Changing the
binding is not allowed."  Glancing at the man page for ypset it
looks like it will only work if ypbind is run with the "-ypset" or
"-ypsetme" options (which the ypbind man page discourages).

Does running "authconfig" and specifying the server work for you?

Subject: Binding to a different NIS Server

I am having an issue with one of my Redhat machines as it is binding to
the
Slave NIS server and i need it to bind to the Master. I have tried doing
a
ypset but it will not change over .  I currently have a issue with my
Unix
Slave NIS server which is why i need to change it to the master to get
the
users up and running properly again. I have got 15 other Redhat machines
and they are all fine because they are bound to the Master. Has anyone
got
any  ideas on what i could try next , any help  would be much
appreciated.
