NIS master server ip address: 10.1.100.2 ,hostname:SUN-2
NIS slave server ip address: 10.1.100.1 ,hostname:SUN-1



How to configure a NIS Master Server
1、#cp /etc/nsswitch.nis /etc/nsswitch.conf
2、#domainname www.test.com
3、#domainname > /etc/defaultdomain
4、#vi /etc/locale
www.test.comen_US
5、#vi /etc/hosts
10.1.100.2 SUN-2loghosttimehost
6、# vi /etc/auto_home
SUN-2:/export/home/&
7、#touch /etc/ethers /etc/bootparams /etc/netgroup /etc/netmasks.
8、#vi /etc/timezone
US/Mountainwww.test.com
9、#vi /etc/dfs/dfstab
share –F nds –d “home dirs” /export/home
10、#/etc/init.d/nfs.server start
11、#vi /etc/passwd
(modify file from /export/home/lilien to /home/lilien)
12、#ypinit –m
In order for NIS to operate successfully, we have to construct a list of
the NIS servers. Please continue to add the names for YP servers in order
of preference, one per line. When you are done with the list, type
a <control D> or a return on a line by itself.
next host to add: SUN-2
next host to add: SUN-1
next host to add:^D
The current list of yp servers looks like this:
server1
Is this correct? [y/n: y] y
Installing the YP database will require that you answer a few questions.
Questions will all be asked at the beginning of the procedure.
Do you want this procedure to quit on non-fatal errors? [y/n: n] n
OK, please remember to go back and redo manually whatever fails. If you
don't, some part of the system (perhaps the yp itself) won't work.

how to configure a NIS Client
1、#cp /etc/nsswitch.nis /etc/nsswitch.conf
2、#vi /etc/hosts
10.1.100.2SUN-2 loghost
10.1.100.1 SUN-1
3、#domainname www.test.com
4、#domainname > /etc/defaultdomain
5、#ypinit –c
(when prompted for a list of NIS servers,enter the names of the NIS master
and all slave servers)
6、#/usr/lib/netsvc/yp/ypstart






how to configure a NIS slave server
1、#cp /etc/nsswitch.nis /etc/nsswitch.conf
2、edit the /etc/hosts file to ensure that the NIS master and all
NIS slave servers have been defined
3、#domainname www.test.com
4、#domainname > /etc/defaultdomain
5、#ypinit -c
(when prompted for a list of NIS servers,enter the names of the NIS master
and all slave servers)
(on the NIS master,ensure the ypserv process is running ,we can use
#ps –ef|grep ypserv)
6、#/usr/lib/netsvc/yp/ypstart
7、#ypinit –s
(if you did not add the name of the NIS slave server when you initially
configured the NIS master server,you should run #ypinit –m once more on
the NIS master server)
