Full Discussion: new password not available on nis client for up to 10 minutes after yppush passwd
Operating Systems AIX new password not available on nis client for up to 10 minutes after yppush passwd Post 302097876 by candyflip2000 on Wednesday 29th of November 2006 06:54:51 AM

new password not available on nis client for up to 10 minutes after yppush passwd
Hi,

We are currently in the process to move the user authentication for our AIX clients to a Windows 2003 server to authenticate them against the active directory entries.

What we have so far:
- NIS master server on Windows 2003 Server with the unix-subsystem installed -> This is managing the users and passwords

- NIS slave server on a AIX workstation -> This is managing the auto-mounts

- several AIX workstations defined as NIS clients -> These are configured to use the AIX slave server as the NIS server


When I now change the password of a user on the NIS master and issue a yppush, the passwd.byuid and passwd.byname in /var/yp/<domain> on the AIX NIS slave are updated and it is possible to telnet into that machine with the new password.
However, it takes an awfull long time (10 minutes and more) until it is pushed further to the NIS clients.
The command ypwhich on the client shows the AIX NIS slave, so it definitely sees it but can not get the maps in a reasonable amount of time...

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

Tom.

ypwhich

ypwhich(1)							   User Commands							ypwhich(1)

NAME

       ypwhich - return name of NIS server or map master

SYNOPSIS

       ypwhich [-d domain] [ [-t] -m  [mname] | [-Vn] hostname]

       ypwhich -x

DESCRIPTION

       ypwhich	returns  the  name  of	the  NIS server that supplies the  NIS name services to a NIS client, or which is the master for a map. If
       invoked without arguments, it gives the NIS server for the local machine.  If hostname is specified, that machine is queried  to  find  out
       which NIS master it is using.

       Refer to ypfiles(4) for an overview of the  NIS name services.

OPTIONS

       -d domain       Use domain instead of the default domain.

       -t	       This option inhibits map nickname translation.

       -m mname        Find  the  master  NIS server for a map.  No hostname can be specified with -m. mname can be a mapname, or a nickname for a
		       map. When mname is omitted, produce a list of available maps.

       -x	       Display the map nickname translation table.

       -Vn	       Version of  ypbind, V3 is default.
