Tips to Setup NIS Client with OpenBSD
After post about Setup NIS Server with OpenBSD, now this post its about how to setup NIS Client.
* Enable RPC
/etc/rc.conf:
portmap=YES
* Enable NIS client
root # echo mynisdomain > /etc/defaultdomain
(Other client OSes may do this differently.)
We’ll start ypbind later.
* Enable Amd automounter
/etc/rc.conf:
amd=YES
root # echo “/home amd.home” >> /etc/amd/master
Note that the automounted home is mounted on top of the existing /home.
* Enable lockd for NFS locking (mutt uses it for example)
/etc/rc.conf:
rpc.lockd=YES
* Append NIS maps to passwd and group files
root # vipw # Append the following line
+:*::::::::
root # pwd_mkdb /etc/master.passwd
root # vi /etc/group # Append the following line
+:*::
Might also want to prepend a ‘+’ to existing group entries so that they are overriden by the NIS map entry. For example
+wheel:*:0:root
See passwd(5), group(5) and afterboot(8) for details.
* Install optional shells
Need to add shells needed by master accounts in same locations. For example if master has users with /bin/zsh then client needs a /bin/zsh too.
* Start the daemons
root # portmap
root # ypbind
root # amd -x error,noinfo,nostats -a /tmp_mnt -l syslog /home amd.home
root # rpc.lockd
These will restart on boot.
Non OpenBSD clients are similar but differ in the details, for example, my FreeBSD 5.3 client has an /etc/rc.conf containing these lines:
rpcbind_enable=”YES”
nisdomainname=”mynisdomain”
nis_client_enable=”YES”
amd_enable=”YES”
amd_flags=”-x error,noinfo,nostats -a /.amd_mnt -l syslog /home amd.home”
nfs_client_enable=”YES”
rpc_lockd_enable=”YES”
