Work smarter not harder

[root@dlp ~]#  yum -y install ypserv rpcbind

# set NIS domain name

[root@dlp ~]#  ypdomainname srv.world

[root@dlp ~]#  echo "NISDOMAIN=srv.world" >> /etc/sysconfig/network

[root@dlp ~]#  vi /var/yp/securenets

# add IP addresses you allow to access to NIS server

255.0.0.0       127.0.0.0
255.255.255.0   10.0.0.0

 

[root@dlp ~]#  vi /etc/hosts

# add server and clients' IP address for NIS database

10.0.0.30   dlp.srv.world dlp
10.0.0.31   www.srv.world www

 

[root@dlp ~]#  systemctl start rpcbind ypserv ypxfrd yppasswdd

[root@dlp ~]#  systemctl enable rpcbind ypserv ypxfrd yppasswdd

# update NIS database

[root@dlp ~]#  /usr/lib64/yp/ypinit -m

At this point, we have to construct a list of the hosts which will run NIS servers. dlp is in the list of NIS server hosts. Please continue to add the names for the other hosts, one per line. When you are done with the

list, type a <control D>.

next host to add: dlp.srv.world

next host to add:

# Ctrl + D key

The current list of NIS servers looks like this:

dlp.srv.world

Is this correct? [y/n: y]

y

# y key and Enter

We need a few minutes to build the databases...

dlp.srv.world has been set up as a NIS master server.

Now you can run ypinit -s dlp on all slave server.

If you added users in local server, apply them to NIS database, too

[root@dlp ~]#  cd /var/yp

[root@dlp yp]#  make

If Firewalld is running, it needs to allow NIS services or ports. Some services listen different ports when they restart, so fix ports for them and allow them by Firewalld.

[root@dlp ~]# vi /etc/sysconfig/network

# add to the end

YPSERV_ARGS="-p 944"

YPXFRD_ARGS="-p 945"

[root@dlp ~]#  vi /etc/sysconfig/yppasswdd

# add like follows

YPPASSWDD_ARGS="--port 946"
