Linux NIS and mixed Linux / Solaris environments 2004-02-07 - By Ken Rossman
Back
I am attempting to get a very broken mixed computing environment
working again.
I have an environment of mostly Linux machines (Red Hat V7 and V8),
Solaris 9,
and some Windows clients.
Ultimately, I am looking for the best method of centralized database
management
of things like user authentication and various info map distribution
(e.g.
NFS automount maps and others), which I believe will end up being LDAP,
but
in the meantime, I am working with a rather broken collection of files
in
/etc, NIS, and BIND/DNS.
The NIS component, which is serving right now essentially for user login
authentication, is rather broken. There are two major issues I have
with it:
- When I cd into /var/yp and perform a "make ", the maps don 't
automatically
get placed in the <nisdomainname > subdirectory. I have to manually
move
them there, which I find odd. Why?
- More importantly, however, nowadays I get a hang condition when I
type
"make ", which I believe is caused because somehow the communication
between the NIS master, on which I am running the "make " command and
its only slave is broken. I 'd like to disable slave updates, but so
far, I haven 't found a place in the online docs that explains how to
undo an existing slave. How to do this?
I am used to the Solaris NIS environment, which for the most part, just
plain "works "...
tnx,
K
