Why does ypwhich command sometimes return the name of slave NIS server instead of master NIS server ?
Issue
-
While executing
ypwhich
command on a NIS client, sometime it returns the name of Master server but sometimes it gives the name of Slave server. Is this a configuration issue with NIS server? -
Even if
ypwhich
executes very frequently, the output may be different. Why doesypwhich
show different results?
