  Build NIS Server in order to share users' accounts among local networks.
[root@dlp ~]#
yum -y install ypserv rpcbind

# update NIS database


At this point, we have to construct a list of the hosts which will run NIS
servers. dlp.srv.world 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: dlp.srv.world

next host to add:

The current list of NIS servers looks like this:

dlp.srv.world

Is this correct? [y/n: y]
y
# push Ctrl + D key

We need a few minutes to build the databases...
Building /var/yp/srv.world/ypservers...
Running /var/yp/Makefile...

dlp.srv.world has been set up as a NIS master server.

Now you can run ypinit -s dlp.srv.world on all slave server.

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

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

[root@dlp yp]#
