I have a trucluster 5.1A system that is my NIS server and for awhile now
I've been getting the following when I update my NIS maps:

updated netgroup
cant bind to master for keck-center hosts.byname no such map in server's
domain will use slave copy!
Status received from ypxfr on keckcenter:
        Map successfully transferred, but ypxfr couldn't send "Clear
map" to ypserv

I don't use the NIS hosts map, but I did create an empty hosts file in my
/var/yp/src directory because I'd read that would eliminate that error,
but it did not. I do not have any NIS slaves, but I believe the problems
began when I tried to configure an NIS slave on a linux machine but it did
not work, so I wanted to return to just the single NIS (master) server.

I searched the archives for the ypxfr problem but only saw one post where
someone had the problem but no resolution.

Any help ?

Thanks,

Dirk
