I created two VMs via VirtualBox, named CentOS_Srv and CentOS_Cli with the IPs 192.168.172.131 and 192.168.172.131, networking type is bridged.
1. ENV
OS: CentOS 5.3
Software: ypserv, yp-tools, ypbind, etc
NIS Server: 192.168.172.132 glynnsrv.com
NIS Client: 192.168.172.131 glynn.glynnsrv.com
2. Steps
1) Config NFS in the NFS server (use the NIS Server here)
[root@glynnsrv]vi /etc/exports, add the following line:
/home *(rw,sync)
this allow all host to mount /home as writable.
2)Make effective
[root@glynnsrv] exportfs -a
3)Start NFS server
[root@glynnsrv]service nfs start
4)Let nfs start when boot
[root@glynnsrv]chkconfig nfs on
5)Config the firewall
[root@glynnsrv]setup
select firewall settings and add NFS service.
6)Config the NFS client
[root@glynn]mv /home /home.bak
[root@glynn]mkdir /home
[root@glynn]vi /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost
192.168.172.131 glynn.glynnsrv.com glynn
192.168.172.132 glynnsrv.com glynnsrv
[root@glynn]mount -t nfs glynnsrv:/home /home
Let autofs mount the nfs at boot time:
[root@glynn]vi /etc/auto.master # add the following line:
/home /etc/auto.home –timeout 600
[root@glynn]vi /etc/auto.home # add the following line:
* -fstype=nfs,r2 192.168.172.132:/home
[root@glynn]chkconfig autofs on
7) Config NIS Server
a) install needed softwares:
[root@glynnsrv] yum -y install ypserv ypbind yp-tools
b)vi /etc/sysconfig/network
…
NISDOMAIN=glynnsrv
