Insert a line like domain yourdomainname broadcast in the file /etc/yp.conf. 2. Edit /etc/nsswitch.conf; change the line passwd: files to passwd: files nis or passwd: nis files 3. /sbin/chkconfig ypbind start If you are using DHCP and the DHCP server knows the NIS domain name, it's even simpler, as 1) should be done automatically (but it's always a good idea to check the file just in case.) If you're talking about setting up a NIS server, I can't recall much about how it's done, I'm afraid... - Toralf> Regards > Per Qvindesland > E-mail: per at norhex.com <http://webmail.norhex.com/#> > http://www.linkedin.com/in/perqvindesland > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos >This e-mail, any attachments and response string may contain proprietary information, which are confidential and may be legally privileged.
