Setting up the master server
The shell script /usr/sbin/ypinit (see
ypinit(1Mnis))
helps you establish the master and slave servers.
When you run ypinit,
it prompts you for information about your NIS configuration
and uses your responses to modify the file /etc/inet/nis.conf.
At system startup, the scripts /etc/rc2.d/S51domain and
/etc/rc2.d/S80nis (linked to
/etc/init.d/nis)
will start NIS automatically.
ypinit also runs /var/yp/ypbuild (see
ypbuild(1Mnis))
initially to create the maps
and starts their propagation.
