ypserv args

[piano_jonas]

Hi!

I’m working on a setup for a NIS-server, but I can’t find out where to place the startup arguments for ypserv. In other distros seems the arguments to be entered like

YPSERV_ARGS=“xxxx”

in the /etc/sysconfig/network - file, but this file dosen’t exist in openSUSE 13.2. I have tried to enter the argument in the /etc/sysconfig/ypserv - file, but it dosen’t work for me.

I have worked several hours on this problem so I would be rotfl! if somebody could help me.

Have you treid simply using a YAST applet to setup NIS?

For the Server

zypper in yast2-nis-server

There is also documentation if you want to deeply alter the NIS configuration

zypper in yast2-nis-server-devel-doc
zypper in yast2-nis-client-devel-doc

For a Client:

zypper in yast2-nis-client

On openSUSE and unlike other distros, you often have a YAST applet to configure without needing to know where the config files are, but you can dig deeper in the documentation if you need to.

Hi

and thanks for your replay!

Nope. I run the NIS-server on a Raspberry Pi device and YAST runs that slow on the poor ARM chip… But I make some popcorn, open a beer and give it a try

Ah! I will have a look inside.

True, that’s what I like with openSUSE. The only problem is that i can be hard to find information how to do things without assistance from YAST when needed.

thanks again
