SUMMARY - How to find out NIS Bound clients from the NIS Master / Slave

[Garrett, Matt M SITI-ITISEEEE]

Folks

Some interesting answers , but David Foster found a solution.
This does assume , all you machine's are in NIS Hosts , but I just changed the
script to bring in my master file of all my hosts.

I don't think there is an elegant way to do this, but I found the following:

ypwhich, embedded in a shell script, collects NIS client demographics to
perform a "census" of server usage:

#! /bin/sh
#       ypcensus - poll for ypservers
( for h in `ypcat hosts | awk '{print $2}'`
   do
         ypwhich $h
   done ) | grep -v 'not running' | sort | uniq -c

Folks

I need to try and find all the Sun Nis Clients , that are bound to a NIS Slave
/ Master

I know from the client I can do ypwhich , but there does not seem to be a easy
way to find out from the slaves

I could look at snoop for say 15 minutes , to see which clients talk using NIS
Protocol.
But I was hoping for a better and quicker solution.

I will summaries.
