Starting NIS Service on a Slave Server

Now you can start daemons on the slave server and begin NIS service. All existing yp processes must be stopped, by typing:

# /usr/lib/netsvc/yp/ypstop

To start ypserv on the slave server and run ypbind, type:

# /usr/lib/netsvc/yp/ypstart

Alternatively, you can reboot the slave server and daemons will be started automatically.
