Actually I wanted to learn NIS...
So first I am planning it on my vmware workstation....

So I just configured one instance as master and other as slave.
But I am getting an error while setting the client as NIS slave:

# ypwhich
:domainname not set on this machine.:
Then I put some name on both client and server.

Then it says:
can't communicate with ypbind...

The nis/client and nis/server are in maintenance mode...How to make it online....

Also as dhcp won't give any hostname, so when I try
#ypinit -s "master server ip address" ( as no hostname is there )
just hangs ....say trying to connect to ip address from domain...in /var/adm/messages

Please suggest...

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. ATTRIBUTES
