Hello SunManagers
On my NIS+ root master server ( running Solaris 9 ) , I am having
a problem deleting the NIS+ root master replica. I have tried
doing nisrmdir on the three relevant objects , the commnd returns
without an error , but does not actually remove teh replica , for
instance when carrying out 'nisping' on the three objects , then
it still advises the following :
Pinging replicas serving "directory foe.co.uk." :
Master server is "emys.foe.co.uk."

------------------------------------------------------------------
I notice that the file /var/nis/trans.log is increasing in size too , presumably because
it cannot be cleared down by a nisping of the replica.
Can anyone advise what the possible risks of the above scenario are ,
and does anyone have any suggestions about tjis problem ?
I will summarise
Thanks in advance
