Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Moving NIS master to new machine Post 302149261 by rhfrommn on Wednesday 5th of December 2007 12:03:58 PM

Check out this link:

System Administration Guide: Naming and Directory Services (DNS, NIS, and LDAP)

Basically, you build the new NIS master then move the stuff to it. The next time you push maps out after that the clients should pick up the change. Details are in the doc.

Good luck.

NAME
rpc.ypupdated, ypupdated - server for changing NIS information SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/netsvc/yp/rpc.ypupdated [-is] DESCRIPTION
ypupdated is a daemon that updates information in the Network Information Service (NIS). ypupdated consults the updaters(4) file in the /var/yp directory to determine which NIS maps should be updated and how to change them. By default, the daemon requires the most secure method of authentication available to it, either DES (secure) or UNIX (insecure). On start up, ypupdated checks for the existence of a NIS to LDAP (N2L) configuration file, /var/yp/NISLDAPmapping. If the file is present, ypupdated generates an informational message and exits. ypupdated is not supported in N2L mode. OPTIONS
-i Accept RPC calls with the insecure AUTH_UNIX credentials. This allows programmatic updating of the NIS maps in all networks. -s Accept only calls authenticated using the secure RPC mechanism (AUTH_DES authentication). This disables programmatic updating of the NIS maps unless the network supports these calls. FILES
/var/yp/updaters Configuration file for rpc.updated command. /var/yp/NISLDAPmapping Configuration file for N2L ATTRIBUTES
