Configure NIS Server
2015/01/13
  Configure NIS Server in order to share users' accounts in your local networks.
[root@dir ~]#
yum -y install ypserv
[root@dir ~]#
ypdomainname srv.world
 
# set NIS domain name

[root@dir ~]#
vi /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
NETWORKING_IPV6=no
HOSTNAME=dir.srv.world
# add follows to the end

NISDOMAIN=srv.world

[root@dir ~]#

# add own IP address for NIS database

[root@dir ~]#
/etc/rc.d/init.d/portmap start

Starting portmap:
[ OK ]

[root@dir ~]#
/etc/rc.d/init.d/ypserv start

Starting YP server services:
[  OK  ]

[root@dir ~]#
/etc/rc.d/init.d/yppasswdd start

Starting YP passwd service:
[  OK  ]

[root@dir ~]#
chkconfig portmap on

[root@dir ~]#
chkconfig ypserv on

[root@dir ~]#
chkconfig yppasswdd on
[root@dir ~]#
/usr/lib64/yp/ypinit -m
# update NIS database
At this point, we have to construct a list of the hosts which will run NIS
servers. dir.srv.world is in the list of NIS server hosts. Please continue to add
the names for the other hosts, one per line. When you are done with the
list, type a <control D>.
next host to add: dir.srv.world

next host to add:
# Ctrl + D key

The current list of NIS servers looks like this:
dir.srv.world
Is this correct? [y/n: y]
y
# yes

We need a few minutes to build the databases...
Building /var/yp/srv.world/ypservers...
Running /var/yp/Makefile...

dir.srv.world has been set up as a NIS master server.

Now you can run ypinit -s dir.srv.world on all slave server.

# It's neccessary to update NIS database with following way if new user is added again

[root@dir ~]#
cd /var/yp

[root@dir yp]#
