Description Martin Mrazik 2005-08-29 09:31:00 UTC

Using yast2-nis-server I'm unable to configure NIS master server. The yast  
"Create NIS Master Server" dialog finishes with no errors but after that the  
server is configured as a "Slave". Yast gives no error and/or information to 
the user why the server is not configured as a master.   
y2logs attached.

Comment 2 Jiří Suchomel 2005-08-29 10:33:19 UTC

What do you mean by writing "server is configured as a "Slave"". Is it really
configured that way or does yast2-nis-server say it when running again?

Comment 3 Martin Mrazik 2005-08-29 10:47:41 UTC

yast2-nis server says it after running it again.      
   
Actually how can I find out that the server is really running slave? I just   
shall test the yast2-nis-server package but the testcases (from pdb) are   
rather brief and I'm quite new to NIS.    
   
However it is still confusing because the yast says something I would not   
expect.

Thanks for info; I'll try to reproduce it (which should be easy as I remember
this as a long problem).

Comment 5 Jiří Suchomel 2005-08-29 11:07:48 UTC

could I login to your machine and do some tests?
