    Solaris - Move NIS master to new machine

    Hi all,

    I'm implementing a new NIS server at work (Solaris 10) to replace the old Solaris 7 box currently serving as our NIS master. The new box has been successfully running as a slave NIS server for a while now but I need to go the whole hog and decomission the old one so will need to transfer all NIS maps to the new machine. There are two other NIS slave servers on our network as well.

    I did find a handy guide on how to do this but between finding it and actually going to start work on this the guide seems to be gone. Does anyone have any good links for info on what I want to do?

    Cheers in advance

    NIS is the work of the debil, are you sure you can't convince the powers that be to migrate to a sane SSO solution?

    I know, but no, NIS it is.

    Ouch, oh well, last time I messed with NIS for 'edutainment' purposes, I followed damn link bug, most of it should still apply to solaris apart from the use of IPS instead of $(linux_pms), and how solaris deals with services.
