Very Computer

Hi all:

        We are currently setting up a NIS+ root master on one of the machine
running S 2.2). I have follow the instructions from the manual and have gotten
the following error instead: (Each entry occurs at different time)  
.
I have follow the instructions from the manual and have gotten the following

(10) Apr 10 17:15:07 bach nisd[228]: verify_table_exists: cannot create table for ..  

        Can somebody explain where each of the error coming from. Also, when
I do a "niscat -o org_dir" or for that matter, any objects, it says they don't
exists, but when I look in /var/nis/bach, all these files are there.
        I don't mind to start over, but what files I should clear out before
doing so ?  
        You help and comments is greatly appreciated.

Cheers Patrick

It takes care of a lot of the ugly details (like running nisupdkeys ).

For more info, see the "NIS+ quickstart" chapter in the Solaris 2.3 Sys Admin answerbook.

If life were that simple...
The scripts nisserver and nisclient are great for blind base
installation, but no good in helping me learning this stupid thing !!!

At the moment my NIS+ instalation is working, but I'm waiting for a
Sun France SE as Sun Portugal was unable to solve our problem with
wierd instabilities (how about 38 megabytes of messages into
/var/adm/messages, witch, unfortunatlly was in the / file system ?).
So far, our moast stable instalation was with Sol 2.2, when we
upgrade to 2.3 things got really strange. I should have seen all the
error messages that NIS+ can produce, including an 'Intruder Alert' in
response to a 'who am i' command...

: For more info, see the "NIS+ quickstart" chapter in the Solaris 2.3 Sys Admin answerbook.

Working on that at the moment, and in SunOS 5.3 Administering NIS+ and
DNS too...
