On server fill in date ain /etc/ypserv.conf 3. use chkconfig on clients and maybe server to turn on ypbind 4. use chkconfig to tune on ypserv on server 5. start ypserv on server and ypbind on clents and maybe server by using service ypbind start on clients and maybe server service ypserv start on server 6. run make in /var/yp after checking the Makefile in that directory and turn off shadow passwd stuff if you are not using shadow passwds. The maybe-s for ypbind on the server depend on whether you want the server to be also a ypclient of itself. If this is not slear ask further. -- ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University 715 Stadium Dr. San Antonio, TX 78212-7200 telephone: (210)-999-7484 email:[email protected]
