error trying to migrate NIS servers
I have copied and verified all the NIS data over from Machine 'A' (Old server) to Machine 'B' (New server), however when I go to start the process of migrating the ‘new maps' back to Machine "A", I get the following error, any ideas?

I type on Machine 'A':

/usr/lib/netsvc/yp/ypxfr -h otslw007 -f passwd.byuid
(otslw007) is name for Machine "B"
I get back:

Bind_to_server __clnt_create_rsvd error: RPC: Program not registered

Does anyone have any idea what this means. Machine "A" is running Sun 5.5.1 and Machine "B" is running Sun 5.8.

I did this as per the procedure outlined in O'reillys book: http://www.hn.edu.cn/book/NetWork/Ne...fs/ch04_03.htm

Did you initalize the New Master "B" server as a slave first? Show the output from "B" - ps -ef|grep rpc

solution
It turns out the solution is a cryptic error in not being able to communicate on the new master server. The problem was that it could not communicate with ypxfrd, even though it was running. Forced a reboot on the server and everything started working.
