Hi,
I'd set up two 3000/400s as NIS master and slave and then had a problem
getting the automounter to work and getting the maps pushed from the master
to the slave.
Thanks to Andy Phillips (atp_at_mssly1.mssl.ucl.ac.uk) for coming up with
the incantation to solve the problem:
>> The master maps are /etc/auto.master and /etc/auto.direct for direct

> e.g.
> slave# pwd
> /var/yp/
> slave# ./ypxfr -f -h master auto.master
> slave# ./ypxfr -f -h master auto.home

I did this and everything seems to be working fine now.
