NIS Service Control
Start

$ Sudo/etc/init. d/nis start
Stop

$ Sudo/etc/init. d/nis stop
Restart

$ Sudo/etc/init. d/nis restart
Configuration

NISSERVER = master NISCLIENT = true
4. Restart the service

/Etc/init. d/nis restart Starting NIS services: ypserv yppasswdd ypxfrd ypbind
Generate a ing File
You can use the make command to initialize the independent server and create an NIS ing table. The file/var/yp/Makefile contains the command for creating a database. You can edit Makefile to specify which ing tables the system is going to distribute. For example:

ALL = passwd group hosts rpc services netid protocols netgrp
Use the make command to initialize an independent server
$ Cd/var/yp $ sudo make
Test
Use the ypwhich command to test the connection with the server

$ Ypwhich 192.168.16.2
Security Configuration
In the configuration file/etc/ypserv. securenets, add the IP address range of the client that can be accessed, for example, allow access from all hosts in the 192.168.16.0/255.255.255.0 network segment.

255.0.0.0 127.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.16.0
Access Control of ing files
You can modify the main configuration file:/etc/ypserv. conf to set the access permission for the ing file.

Configuration File Syntax/format

Client Test
1. Test with ypwhich

$ Ypwhichnisserv
2. Test with yptest
$ Yptest
3. Test with ypcat
$ Ypcat passwd
3. Use

Log on to the client using the server-side test user nistest. The system obtains information about the nistest user from the NIS server. The logon is successful:
