Problem with NIS client
Hi All,

In my network infra, there is a NIS master server and many more NIS slave servers. Now, I want every client to set with master server and one possible slave server so that if master goes down, client could still get info from slave server. The servers will be listed on /var/yp/binding/domain.com/ypservers. Is it possible if master goes down, after restarting ypbind daemon, client can get connect to other slave server.
Please provide me the way to get it done.

Thanks,
Deepak Tiwari

ypinit

YPINIT(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						 YPINIT(8)

NAME

     ypinit -- initialize NIS subsystem

SYNOPSIS

     ypinit -c [domainname] [-l server1,...,serverN]
     ypinit -m [domainname] [-l server1,...,serverN]
     ypinit -s master_server [domainname] [-l server1,...,serverN]

DESCRIPTION

     ypinit initializes the files and directories that are required for a NIS client or server.

     If domainname isn't specified, the default domain (as returned by domainname(1)) is used.

     The following options are available:

     -c      Create a NIS client.  Initializes /var/yp/binding/<domain>.ypservers to contain a list of ypservers for ypbind(8) to connect to.

     -l server1,...,serverN
	     Set the list of client servers from the command line rather than prompting for them interactively.  The format is a comma separated
	     list of server names with no spaces.

     -m      Create a master NIS server.  Generates map data from local files (/etc/master.passwd, /etc/group, etc.).

     -s master_server
	     Create a slave server.  Downloads the maps from master_server, which should be the active master NIS server.

     To rebuild or refresh the maps for the NIS domain <domain>, change to the /var/yp/<domain> directory and run make.

FILES

     /var/yp		 master NIS directory; contains the template makefiles.
     /var/yp/<domain>	 directory to store NIS maps for <domain>.
     /var/yp/binding/<domain>.ypservers
			 list of NIS servers to bind to.
