NIS Slave to become master server
by sujitb from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4TZAV)
Hi Folks,
I have NIS master (V6.9)and slave server (V7.4) configured on the CentOS environment. But, due to some hardware issues NIS master server is not operational.
Now, I want NIS slave server should be act as master server permanently. I have never done this earlier so seeking your support on this..
On NIS slave server below services are running.
ypserv.service
ypbind.service
ypxfrd.service
Let me know if you are seeking more information on this.
Thanks in advance.
