After you've decided to configure a machine as a NIS secondary server, you start by configuring it as a NIS client machine. Verify that you can access the server maps via the ypcat command.
Now you are ready to tell the master server that a slave server exists. To do this, edit the /var/yp/ypservers file so that the slave server you are setting up is included in the list. Now make sure you are in /var/yp and then run a make. If you configured your master server with the name of the slave server during the ypinit -m phase, you do not need to do this.
On the slave server make sure that the ypserv daemon is installed. If it is not, you will need to install this from the RPM.
