Good morning the groupe,
I have a small problem with NIS. In a sation (or server), when I type this
commande "ypcat hosts", I get this answer: "No such map hosts.byname.
Reason: internal error in NIS"
Did you know where is the problem?

********************
NB:
-domain name: nis.a22.TPnis
-ip of the nis server : 10.172.52.22
-I have created the file /var/yp/nis.a22.TPnis
-I have added to /etc/yp.conf:
    nis.a22.TPnis   server 10.172.52.39
    ypserver   10.172.52.39
-I have added to /etc/sysconfig/network:
    NISDOMAIN="nis.a22.TPnis"
-created /etc/domainname and added it this line:
    nis.a22.TPnis
-typed the following command: "domainname nis.a22.TPnis"
-added the following lines to /et/ypserv.conf:
    #host    :domain    :map    :security    :passwdmangle
    10.172.52.    :*    :passwd.byname    :port    :yes
    10.172.52.    :*    :passwd.byuid    :port    :yes
-I have donne
    /usr/lib/yp/ypinit -m
-created the file "/var/yp/securenets" with this content
    255.0.0.0    127.0.0.0
    255.0.0.0    10.172.52.0
-created the maps
    cd /var/yp/nis.a22.TPnis/
    make -f ../Makefile all
-restart the daemons
    ypserv  restart
    yppasswdd restart
-when I type "domainname" I get this answer "nis.a22.TPnis"
-And when I type "ypwhch" I get "station_a22" (the name of my station which
is in the same time my nis server)
