Hi Admins,
I don't know that I can categorize this as a NIS
problem but I have searched the web, man pages, my
O'reilly Managing NFS and NIS, as well as the archives
and can't find an answer.
I inherited a UNIX environment that seemed to be
running well but as is usually the case, the previous
admin did little documentation of the NIS and NFS
environment.
We have introduced several new printers and plotters
to the UNIX landscape and created the entries in the
printers.conf file in the NIS directory on the NIS
master server. After running make, I didn't receive
the expected messages that the file had been pushed.
A closer look at the Makefile revealed that there is
no mention of a printers or printers.conf map and,
there are no other Makfiles in /var/yp.
The most intersting thing is that ypcat printers on
the NIS clients produces a list of all of the printers
that were previously configured but, not the new ones.
In addition to the NIS master we have on slave and a
ypwhich printers on the master as well as on the slave
results in the output: no such map in server's domain.
I have considered rebuilding NIS from scratch and
documenting everything but until now we have had no
problems and I generally follow the old rule that one
should never touch a running system.
Please help and I will summarize.
Thanks.
