Hello NIS experts!
I've read the foregoing with great interest and thought I'd have a go myself.
However, I get virtually nowhere! I've followed Knuddies HowTo exactly (two or three times now!) and when I get to ....
# /usr/lib/yp/ypinit -m ... all I get is the following:
The current list of NIS servers looks like this:
lto-server.symans.cawood
Is this correct? [y/n: y] y
We need a few minutes to build the databases...
Building /var/yp/symans.cawood/ypservers...
Running /var/yp/Makefile...
gmake[1]: Entering directory /var/yp/symans.cawood'
gmake[1]: *** No rule to make target all'. Stop.
gmake[1]: Leaving directory /var/yp/symans.cawood'
make: *** [target] Error 2
Error running Makefile.
Please try it by hand.
Can some kind soul out there tell me what's going on here?
I think that the relevant bit of the Makefile is:
# If you don't want some of these maps built, feel free to comment
# them out from this list.
#all: passwd group hosts rpc services netid protocols mail \
all: passwd group hosts shadow
# netgrp shadow publickey networks ethers bootparams printcap \
# amd.home auto.master auto.home auto.local passwd.adjunct \
# timezone locale netmasks
BTW SME 6.0.1-01 with no modifications (except this one!)
Regards,
Dave
