Hello managers,
I have just changed my master nis server to another nis server.
Using the following steps.
old master was an AS2100 running 3.2g and new master is AS1200 running 4.0d.
-copy the directory /var/yp from old master to the new master.
-stop the nis servers
-clean out the directory /var/yp on old master
-run ypsetup on the old master to make it a slave.
-run ypsetup on new server to make it master.
This is where the problem is i get the error below.
Nis seems to be working fine by awnsering no ie do not update the files but
i would rather if it would update,
any one got ideas or is this nothing to worry about ?

The list of NIS servers (including the master) for domain apion-ti is:
zeta.apion-ti.com
You may now redo this list, exit nissetup, or continue.
If you choose to continue, the default set of NIS maps for your host
will now be created. Please be sure that the files that you wish
to distribute are in the /var/yp/src directory.
Enter "r" to REDO the servers list, "e" to EXIT nissetup,
or "c" to CONTINUE [no default]: c
Creating default NIS maps. Please wait...
