AIX

Hi,

We are facing a problem with nis . we have a master server and there are 5 -6 slave servers configured with NIS. All the servers are IBM aix with different O/s versions installed Ex.5.2, 5.3 and 6.1

The master nis server is a 5.2 aix server system and all others are installed with nis slave ones.

now the problem is an user locked in master server is not getting mapped in the slave servers. The user is able to login on the other slave servers with the password though the user is locked in the master nis server.

Please suggest the solution .



thanks & regargs

Did you try a yppush to update the slaves?
IBM Information Center - yppush

while giving the yppush it is asking for domainname and maps
I have the domain name , but what i need to mention for maps

I never had a NIS up running, sorry. Seems to be the config on your NIS master. Check out the documentation meanwhile until somebody answers.

first. You sure, you have 1 master and 5-6 slaves, OR
You have 1 master and 5-6 clients.

If realy you have 5-6 slaves you must use cron to set each slave request to update maps.

If you have nis+ on any slave it can be problem with compability mode.

this used to work earlier with the existing setup. during recent times it stopped working . do not know why

OK
run

Code:

lssrc -a|grep nis

I don't remember you see nis on first or second column

if on first column run

Code:

refresh -g nis

if on second column run

Code:

refresh -s nis

run it in order at each master..slave1..slave2..slave3..slave4....
Don't hurry, wait same time on each server.
