How to Set Up a Root NIS+ Replica

How to Set Up a Root NIS+ Replica


After your root replica has been set up as a client system (see
Section 3.3), start the NIS+ server daemon:

root-replica# rpc.nisd

Then, you can execute the nisserver command on the root-master:

root-master# nisserver -v -R -d domain_name -h replica_machine

(where domain_name is your NIS+ domain and replica_machine is the name
of your root-replica.)

Finally, run nisping on the master server to propagate the tables to
the replica server:

root-master# nisping domain_name.
root-master# nisping org_dir.domain_name.
root-master# nisping groups_dir.domain_name.

(where domain_name is your NIS+ domain.)
