Installation started

Step 1 # Add the below line in sources.list

Step 2 # dpkg –install nis_3.17-32_i386.deb

Step 3 # apt-get install portmap make rpcbind

Step 4 #  service rpcbind restart

Step 5 #  service nis restart

Step 6 # root@akt-vpc:~#  vi /etc/default/nis

# line 6: change (set NIS master server)

NISSERVER=master

Step 7 # root@akt-vpc:~# vi /etc/ypserv.securenets

# This line gives access to everybody. PLEASE ADJUST!

# make it comment

#0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0

# add at the last: IP address you allow

255.255.255.0             192.0.0.0

Step 8 # root@akt-vpc:~# vi /var/yp/Makefile

# line 119: add

ALL = passwd shadow group hosts rpc services netid protocols netgrp

Step 10 # root@akt-vpc:~# vi /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1         localhost

127.0.1.1         akt-vpc.server.world   akt-vpc

# add own IP address for NIS database

10.0.0.30         akt-vpc.server.world   akt-vpc

Step 11 # root@akt-vpc:~# /usr/lib/yp/ypinit  -m

# update NIS database

At this point, we have to construct a list of the hosts which will run NIS
servers. master is in the list of NIS server hosts. Please continue to add
the names for the other hosts, one per line. When you are done with the
list, type a <control D>
.     next host to add: akt-vpc
    next host to add:                 # push Ctrl+D

The current list of NIS servers looks like this:
akt-vpc
Is this correct? [y/n: y] y

We need a few minutes to build the databases...

master has been set up as a NIS master server.

Now you can run ypinit -s master on all slave server.
