In order to create a new NIS server:
Do you want the master to use the local files for domain sources? If
not, create a domain source directory ( eg /etc/NIS) and put the domain
source files in there.
Think of a proper domainname and configure this into /var/yp.conf
Modify the /var/yp/Makefile so that $(YPSRCDIR) points to the
sourcefiles of your domain.
Cd to /usr/lib/yp
Issue the ypinit –m command, and follow instructions
Note that on redhat 3 workstation installations, the ypserv package will
not be available.
you can download source and make it, it works ok,
Remember to make some slave servers using the "ypinit -s $master"

Could someone help me with a Procedure/Guide on what i would need to do to
get my Redhat ES Version 3 machines to become a NIS server. The current NIS
server is a Sun machine that is being decommissioned in the next few weeks.
Any help on this would be much appreciated.
