SUMMARY: NIS problem



Thanks for the correct answer which came from:

Matt J. L. Goebel <goebel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:

----------
...
You want to change your /var/yp/Makefile line for YPPUSH from
YPPUSH=$(YPDIR)/yppush
to 
YPPUSH=$(YPDIR)/yppush -M

Digital support said that a flag was accidentally left turned on.

There were some "me too"'s, and some other advice from:

Eli Burke <eburke@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
BigRedDog <ckrieger@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Dick Abraham <abrahad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
   (recommends setting up slave server with "Allow local ypset requests only"
    to get password changes pushed immediately instead of after about 30 min)
David Warren <warren@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
    (recommends listing the NIS master in the missing file)
Mike Iglesias <iglesias@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Larry Griffith <larry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Francois Zimmermann <Francois.Zimmermann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
     (recommends not to post NIS domain names and NIS server names to a
     world-readable mailing list)
Peter Stern <peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
============================
My original question was:

Since my upgrade to DEC unix 4.0b, after rebuilding the
NIS databases by doing 'make' in /usr/var/yp I everytimes 
get the following message:

Map 'ypslaves.fphsv01.physik.uni-karlsruhe.de' is empty for domain 'xyz'

....
