Managers,

We have the following scenario:

Server1 ...NIS Master

Server2....NIS Slave

Server3....NIS Slave

We have a need of downgrading "Server1" to become a NIS Slave and
upgrading "Server2" to become

The NIS Master. How Can I accomplish this?

Can I just make the existing NIS master a slave by doing: (ypinit -s)
and then enduup with 3 NIS slave and just upgrade

"Server2" with the following command: (ypinit -m)? or is there any
other way?

Thanks in advance,

Vinnie.
