 Dear gurus,

I would like to make a new fresh install of solaris 9 on my NIS master
serveur (let's say A)
I've setup a NIS slave master (let's call it B) running Sol 8
The main idea is to reconfigure A without stopping the clients

I would like to have your opinion.

First, make the NIS slave-master B in the master mode.
For this :
* Copy all the maps & makefile to the future master (B)

* On B# cd /var/yp ; rm *.time ; make NOPUSH=1

* Install copies of the new maps on master B to A
   on A# ypxfr -h B -f passwd.byuid
       # yppush password.byuid
       #same for all maps

Then we stop A, install solaris 9 on A, make A a NIS slave/master of B
then make A the master and B the slave/master again.

Is anything wrong?
Any advice?

Thanks

Yann
