    I have a trucluster 5.1A system that is my NIS server and for awhile now
    I've been getting the following when I update my NIS maps:

    updated netgroup
    cant bind to master for keck-center hosts.byname no such map in server's
    domain will use slave copy!
    Status received from ypxfr on keckcenter:
            Map successfully transferred, but ypxfr couldn't send "Clear
    map" to ypserv

    I don't use the NIS hosts map, but I did create an empty hosts file in my
    /var/yp/src directory because I'd read that would eliminate that error,
    but it did not. I do not have any NIS slaves, but I believe the problems
    began when I tried to configure an NIS slave on a linux machine but it did
    not work, so I wanted to return to just the single NIS (master) server.

    I searched the archives for the ypxfr problem but only saw one post where
    someone had the problem but no resolution.

    Any help ?

    Thanks,

    Dirk
