I'm trying to make a new NIS map under Solaris 9.

This is what I've pasted into my /var/yp/Makefile

mounts.time: $(DIR)/mounts
    @(awk 'BEGIN { FS=" "; OFS="\t"; } /^[a-zA-Z0-9_]/ { print $$1, $$0 }'\
    $(DIR)/mounts $(CHKPIPE))| $(MAKEDBM) - $(YPDBDIR)/$(DOM)/mounts.byname;
    @touch mounts.time;
    @echo "updated mounts";
    @if [ ! $(NOPUSH) ]; then $(YPPUSH) -d $(DOM) mounts.byname; fi
    @if [ ! $(NOPUSH) ]; then echo "pushed mounts"; fi

I also added the target called mounts to the "all" entry in the
Makefile. I also added

mounts: mounts.time

and the end of the Makefile.

When I type

# make mounts

it does create the mounts.byname map in the /var/yp/DOM directory.

I can issue a

makedbm -u mounts.byname

and it lists the contests and it looks fine.

But, when I type

# ypcat mounts
I get this error:
No such map in servers domain.

Am I missing some steps??

Thanks much.
