RHEL 4 slave NIS server setup problem

[Simon Gao]

Hi,

Hope someone can help me here.

We have a NIS master server running on FreeBSD 4.11. RHEL clients can
bind to the server without any problem. Now I want to add another nis
slave server using RHEL 4.

When I issued command "/usr/lib/yp/ypinit -s <master>", I got following
errors:



We will need a few minutes to copy the data from <master>.

faith.schrodinger.com's NIS data base has been set up.
If there were warnings, please figure out what went wrong, and fix it.

At this point, make sure that /etc/passwd and /etc/group have
been edited so that when the NIS is activated, the data bases you
have just created will be used, instead of the /etc ASCII files.


Is it required to have the same nis map data file type on both master
and slave? How to make maps transfer from FreeBSD to Linux correctly?
