NIS Setup Error Resolution

# ypinit -m The local host's domain name hasn't been set. Please set it. IF ERROR ENCOUNTERED, FOLLOW THE COMMAND:

# domainname abc.com # domainname > /etc/defaultdomain and continue to configure NIS

# ypinit -m

In order for NIS to operate sucessfully, we have to construct a list of the NIS servers. Please continue to add the names for YP servers in order of preference, one per line. When you are done with the list, type a <control D> or a return on a line by itself. next host to add: myhost next host to add:

The current list of yp servers looks like this:

myhost

Is this correct? [y/n: y] y

Installing the YP database will require that you answer a few questions. Questions will all be asked at the beginning of the procedure.

Do you want this procedure to quit on non-fatal errors? [y/n: n] y The yp domain directory is /var/yp/sol10.com Can we destroy the existing /var/yp/sol10.com and its contents? [y/n: n] y There will be no further questions. The remainder of the procedure should take 5 to 10 minutes. Building /var/yp/sol10.com/ypservers...
