Run the nisserver -R command as superuser (root) on the NIS+ domain's master server.
client2# nisserver -R -d sales.doc.com. -h client3 This script sets up a NIS+ replica server for domain sales.doc.com. Domain name ::sales.doc.com. NIS+ server :client Is this information correct? (type 'y' to accept, 'n' to change) |
In this example, client2 is the master server. The -R option indicates that a replica should be configured. The -d option specifies the NIS+ domain name (sales.doc.com. in this example). The -h option specifies the client machine (client3, in this example) that will become the replica. Notice that this machine is still a client of the doc.com. domain and not a client of the sales.doc.com. domain.
