Editing YP_MAP_X_LATE
An NIS server reads the file
/etc/yp/YP_MAP_X_LATE
to obtain the list of files to service.
Edit the file /etc/yp/YP_MAP_X_LATE
to remove names of files you do not wish NIS to
service and add those you do.
The file /etc/yp/YP_MAP_X_LATE supports a facility for mapping map names that are longer than operating system length limits into alias names; the maps are then allowed to reside on the system under the alias name but still be known to NIS programs by a universal map name. You must assign an NIS alias to a map if a map name exceeds the filename length limit allowed by your operating system (often 14 characters; however, DTFS, EAFS, and HTFS filesystems have a filename limit of 255 characters). For more information on aliasing map names see ypmapxlate(NF).
Verify that the files listed in /etc/yp/YP_MAP_X_LATE are complete and current on your master server. All files listed in /etc/yp/YP_MAP_X_LATE must be available to the master server.
