Configuring Remote Services in an NIS Environment
When working in an NIS environment, you should always configure Remote
Services (which creates the user sbnet) on the NIS Master before configuring it on
any NIS Slaves. This is because the Master could propagate the updated user and
password files to the Slaves in such an order as to nullify the creation of the sbnet
user on the Slave after the setup of Remote Services is completed. This could be an
inconvenience to figure out when the remote backups from the client fail. The
correct order to configure Remote Services are:
1. Configure Remote Services on the NIS Master.
Note: For details, refer to section “Configure Remote Services” on page 8-4.
2. Configure Remote Services on NIS Slaves.
Note: For details, refer to section “Configure Remote Services” on page 8-4.
3. ConfigureSysBack Remote Service to allow SysBack client access
Note: For details, refer to section “Adding or Changing the List of Remote
Backup Servers” on page 8-8.
4. Configure SysBack clients with definitions for the desired remote backup
servers.
Note: For details, refer to section “Adding or Changing the List of Remote
Backup Servers” on page 8-8.
