NIS+ Setup Problems
Q: Why does nisserver fail when I run it, as described in Section 3.4?
A: If for some reason the nisserver script fails, check the error
message. It will give some ideas about the failure. Another option is
to do the configuration manually using nisinit, and nissetup, as is
described in the Name Services Administration Guide. This will give an
idea about which step the script is failing in. This can help to
diagnose the problem better. If the nisinit -r step hangs, then check
if you are running DNI. The DNI installation modifies /etc/netconfig
file with this line:
nsp tpi_cots_ord - decnet nsp /dev/nsp /usr/lib/straddr.so
If you comment this line out and then run the script again, it will
work correctly.
