[comp.unix.ultrix] YP problems

jpd@gordon.UUCP (Jim Drummey) (07/28/90)

I've had problems rebuilding the alias database using both makedbm and
running make. After I'm finished, if I do a ypcat aliases, all the new
ones are in there, but ypmatch tells me there are no such keys in the
database. If I do a makedbm -u, I can see em. I copied the /etc/aliases
file from my Ultrix 3.1c system ( which is the master server) and ran
make on my slave server ( a Sun 3) and it works fine. All of the machines
using the slave server see the new entries.  Is there a problem with the 
Ultrix ypmatch or could the database be fouled even though ypcat works?
