Hi Gurus,
I've a problem with changing a NIS master server. My NIS Admin Guide (O'
Reilly, "Managing NFS and NIS") says I should setup the new master a
NIS-slave, rebuild the NIS-maps on the new master with NOPUSH=1, and then
transfer the newly generated NIS-maps to the old server using ypxfr:
ypxfr -h newmaster -f <NIS-map>.
I've setup the slave, rebuild the maps, but when I try the ypxfr, I get the
following error message:
ypxfr: couldnot get <newmaster> address
(info) <newmaster> passwd.byuid ypxfrd getdbm failed (reason = -1) -- using
ypxfr
What does this mean?
The address of the new master is present in the old master's /etc/hosts, so
I thought it should work. I also added the new master's hostname to the
ypservers-map and rebuild the ypservers map using makedbm...
Where's the problem?
Anyone seen this before?
Thanks for your help, will summarize.
kind regards,
Harald
