I think I may have sent this request out imbedded in another problem, but here it is specifically. Machine A: Sun 3/60, SunOS 4.0 (I know...), YP server Machine B: Microvax II, Ultrix-32 V3.0 (Rev 64), YP client Situation: When I run "make all" in /var/yp on the Sun to re-make and redistribute the YP databases, it says (for example): updated passwd yp server not registered at <Machine B>. yp server not registered at <Machine B>. pushed passwd ... and so on for the other databases. I verified that the YP service is correctly running on the MicroVAX, and in fact I can log in on the VAX, showing that it correctly uses the YP databases. The files _do_ correctly end up on the VAX, though when I don't know. Could I have a problem in one of the /etc files? Thanks for help in advance, Steven Steven V. Christensen U.C.

Most likely, you either have a yp configuration problem on the Sun or <Machine B> is not set up to be a slave server. To figure out what's going on, you need to know whether <Machine B> is supposed to be a yp slave server or just a yp client (the Sun is the yp master server). Now verify your Sun yp configuration by cd-ing to /var/yp/your_domain and typing: "/usr/etc/yp/makedbm -u ypservers". If it returns the name of <Machine B>, then your Sun wants <Machine B> to be a yp slave server. Unconfiguring your Sun is somewhat of a pain, however the procedure is described in Chapter 14 of the System and Network Administration manual. If you want <Machine B> to be a slave server, then it needs to be set up.
