HOSTNAME=dlp.srv.world
# add at the the last line

# 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: master

next host to add:
# Ctrl + D key

The current list of NIS servers looks like this:
master
Is this correct? [y/n: y]
y
# answer yes

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.
# It's neccessary to update NIS database with following way if new user is added again

[root@master ~]#
cd /var/yp
