NIS Redhat master to Solaris NIS slave problem with passwd.adjunct.byname file
Issue
-
When trying to set up a NIS slave on Solaris, using
# ypinit -sor
# ypxferall of the maps are transferred except passwd.adjunct.byname.
-
This issue is caused due to this line in the /etc/ypserv.conf file on Redhat
master NIS server:* : * : passwd.adjunct.byname : port -
If this is changed to:
* : * : passwd.adjunct.byname : noneThe ypxfr will happen and yppush then works from the Redhat master to the Solaris slave.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2
- ypserv-2.19-22.el6.x86_64
-
yp-tools-2.9-12.el6.x86_64
-
Solaris 5.8 machine that is a NIS slave with a RHEL NIS server.
