Setting up NIS server

These are the scripts which I have tried and tested in order to set NIS service over the network.

On server side :

yum -y install ypserv
domainname SCRC
cat >> /etc/yp.conf << END
ypserver 127.0.0.1
END
cat >> /etc/sysconfig/network << END
NISDOMAIN=SCRC
END
service ypserv start
chkconfig ypserv on
/usr/lib/yp/ypinit -m
service ypbind start
chkconfig ypbind on
service ypxfrd start
chkconfig ypxfrd on
cd /var/yp
make



On client side :

yum -y install ypbind
domainname SCRC
cat >> /etc/yp.conf << END
ypserver pioneer
END
cat >> /etc/sysconfig/network << END
NISDOMAIN=SCRC
END
service ypbind start
chkconfig ypbind on


Do not forget to change /etc/nsswitch.conf
