Chapter 4186
To Verify Your NIS Client Configuration
• Log into the NIS client and issue the following command:
/usr/bin/ypwhich -m
The ypwhich -m command lists all the NIS maps available to the client
and gives the name of the master server that serves each map. Your
display should look something like this, where mastername is the name
of the master server for your domain:
# /usr/bin/ypwhich -m
vhe_list mastername
servi.bynp mastername
services.byname mastername
rpc.byname mastername
protocols.bynumber mastername
protocols.byname mastername
rpc.bynumber mastername
passwd.byuid mastername
passwd.byname mastername
networks.byname mastername
networks.byaddr mastername
netgroup.byuser mastername
netgroup.byhost mastername
netgroup mastername
hosts.byname mastername
hosts.byaddr mastername
group.byname mastername
group.bygid mastername
publickey.byname mastername
netid.byname mastername
mail.byaddr mastername
mail.aliases mastername
auto.master mastername
ypservers mastername
If you do not see a similar display, see “Troubleshooting NFS Services” on
page 287. Type man 1 ypwhich for more information on the ypwhich
command.
