Creating Additional Client Machines

Repeat the preceding client-initiation procedure on as many machines as you like. To initiate clients for another domain, repeat the procedure but change the domain and master server names to the appropriate ones.

The sample NIS+ domain described in this chapter assumes that you will initialize four clients in the domain doc.com. You are then going to configure two of the clients as non-root NIS+ servers and a third client as a root replica of the root master server of the doc.com domain.

You always have to make a system into a client of the parent domain before you can make the same system a server of any type.
