When installing a new RH Linux client into an existing NIS network, what is the correct way to set up the ypbind service?

Use the "authconfig" utility. On the first page, specify the NIS domain and the NIS server hostnames in order of preference:

  •  Use NIS      Domain: atc.no      

                 Server: hermes.atc.no,archimedes.atc.no


On the next page, make sure shadow passwords and md5 passwords are enabled:


  •  Use Shadow Passwords
  •  Use MD5 Passwords



After you select Ok, authconfig will automatically reload ypbind for you:


Stopping portmap services:    [  OK  ]
Starting portmapper:          [  OK  ]
Shutting down NIS services:   [  OK  ]
Binding to the NIS domain...  [  OK  ]
Listening for an NIS domain server: hermes.atc.no


...and you're done :-)
