Error NIS Configuration Help

I have a Solaris 5.5 with NIS set-up. My plan is to change IP address. I used the ifconfig command to change IP and updated the /etc/hosts file, the problem is that ypmake command is not yet available with Solaris 5.5 and I don't know how I can update my NIS map. ypcat hosts still shows my old IP address. Smilie

Another thing, how can I delete users under NIS. Smilie

Please help this is urgent. Smilie
