Dear all,
Firstly apologies for the original message which somehow got truncated
before it left here and was missing the vital part: The Question!
Well spotted by:-

However, maximum points and a big thank you to the following people who guessed
what the question was, and supplied an answer :-

The question was how I could get NIS working between a Master server and a
Slave server on two seperate networks (connected via 3 routers). The following
method seems to work:-
1) Run ypinit -m on the Master server - include the Slave server in the
list of slaves.
On the Slave server:-
2) Kill any yp processes running on the Slave server.
3) run ypbind with the ypsetme option
/usr/etc/ypbind -ypsetme
4) run ypset to bind to the yp Master server
/usr/etc/yp/ypset <Master-YP-Server>
5) run ypinit -s <Master-YP-Server>
6) kill the ypbind process and restart without the ypsetme option
/usr/etc/ypbind
7) Start ypserv
/usr/etc/ypserv
The above steps should work.
Martin.
