Setting up NIS

Making the automounter maps

By default, the NFS automounter maps auto.master and auto.home are not made on the NIS master server. To make these maps:

Edit the Makefile in /var/yp on the master server, uncommenting the maps auto.master and auto.home in the ``all'' rule.
Run ypinit, following the procedure in ``Making the maps''.

NOTE: If you want to add auto.master and auto.home to the list of maps that a slave slaver will initially request from the master server, add entries for these maps to those listed in the file /var/yp/YPMAPS on the slave server before running ypinit to set up the slave server.
