Verify Communication with the NIS+ Master

Skip this procedure if the client specified NIS+ during network install.

1. As root, at label admin_low, check to see that you can ping the NIS+ master.

   # ping your-master

2. Check to see that you can rup the NIS+ master.

   # rup your-master

   If the rup(1) command succeeds, you may proceed. If it fails, debug your network setup until the rup command succeeds.

Summary

These NIS+ client files must be compatible with the NIS+ master files:

• /etc/security/tsol/label_encodings

• /etc/security/tsol/tnrhtp

The client's local tnrhdb(4) file must have the IP address and host type of the NIS+ master (or the IP address and host type of the subnet), the client's static routers, and the client.

In addition, the client's address and name, the NIS+ master's name and address, and the static routers' names and addresses must be in the local hosts database.
