I probably don't have the exact answers, and suspect there
are some bugs.
But I know by experience to get round that,
invoke ypinit -s server
on the slaves does get the maps updated.

Subject: NIS questions
Dear all
i have a few questions about nis. i am using RHEL AS3
and the yp suite come with it (ypserv/tools 2.8)
1. ypinit -m does not push the maps to slave servers
(i do have the correct hostnames in
/var/yp/ypservsers, generated by ypinit -m and
NOPUSH=false in /var/yp/Makefile). I looked at the
ypinit script, it has a line
cd $YPMAPDIR && make NOPUSH=true
so even i changed the Makefile to have NOPUSH=false,
it will be overidden by the ypinit? if so, why?
i can manually run yppush with no problem.
2. ypxfrd (on slave) dose not update the maps, even i
have put trusted_master: my.master.server in
/etc/ypserv.con
again, i can manually run ypxfr without problem
3. most importantly, yppasswd can only change the
passwd in the master server. how to make the updated
passwd (yppasswd) pushed to slave server automatically
whenever users changed their passwd?
many thanks
cheng
