Installing NIS

[Gordon Stewart]

Dear List

I have installed NIS on a Redhat 9 machine.  I have followed the instruction 
to create a NIS map for passwd.  The problem is that when I issue the 
command:

        ypcat passwd

I get nothing.  I have five users in the file /var/yp/passwd that are not 
the same users that are in my /etc/passwd. Can anyone point me in the right 
direction to resolve this.

I was expecting to see the five users when I issue the command ypcat passwd.

Thanks

Gordon
