<html><body ><div align='left'><font ><blockquote>Morning Folks, trying to set up an NIS server on a customised Mandriva<BR>
2006.0 system, with Fedora6 clients, my only experience of NIS was<BR>
with SuSE 8.1Pro, which did the hard work for me, so i've followed the<BR>
NIS HOW-TO at tldp.org.<BR>
<BR>
I get as far as <BR>
entering;<BR>
/usr/lib/yp/ypinit -s masterhost<BR>
<BR>
and the system returns <BR>
<BR>
can't get local yp domain: Local domain name not set<BR>
Can't enumerate maps from masterhost. Please check that it is running.<BR>
<BR>
any suggestions very welcome, hopefully a stupid oversight by me, and<BR>
not something time consuming, cus i need this network up by 9am<BR>
<BR>
