Hello, I am installing NIS on Solaris 5.8 on an intel x86 box. I am getting
the following error when I run ypinit -m

sh: /usr/lib/netsvc/yp/multi: not found
*** Error code 1
sh: /usr/lib/netsvc/yp/multi: not found
*** Error code 1
sh: /usr/lib/netsvc/yp/stdethers: not found
NIS make terminated: ethers.time

The steps I took to configure the machine as a nis server were the
following:
# touch /etc/ethers /etc/bootparams /etc/locale /etc/timezone /etc/netgroup
/etc/netmasks
# ypinit -m 
.....
Do you want this procedure to quit on non-fatal errors? [y/n: n]  n

Error running Makefile.

foo has been set up as a yp master server with errors.  Please remember
to figure out what went wrong, and fix it.

What do you think? Thanks for any input. 

thank you,
